2550 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 25-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 2550 Geary Blvd in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1987 by Guinnane Construction Co In, has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in early 2025, the building is scheduled to receive a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing $79,200 to comply with current fire safety regulations, following a similar electrical permit issued in July 2024 for the modification of the fire alarm system across all nine floors.

The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with violations related to sleeping area requirements noted as recently as November 2023, and previous alarm system issues in 2013 and 2021, though these were eventually corrected. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety incidents over the past few years, including multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris (most recently in November 2024), sidewalk defects (noted as collapsed in November 2024), and a sewage backup incident in September 2024.

While the building itself has undergone significant structural improvements, including reroofing in 2011, there have been persistent issues with external maintenance and public space conditions around the property. Historical records show earlier attempts to modify the building's unit configuration, including a cancelled proposal to increase fourth-floor units and a disapproved application to legalize unauthorized units, though the current unit count remains at 25. The building's fire safety systems have required ongoing attention, with multiple false alarms and system malfunctions recorded over the years, though fortunately, these incidents have not resulted in civilian injuries.
