2843-2845 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The two-unit, two-story mixed-use building at 2843-2845 Geary Blvd, owned by Njbhp LLC, has undergone significant changes since 2020, most notably converting from a restaurant to a cannabis retail dispensary on the ground floor while maintaining the residential unit above. This $400,000 project included adding a deck to the residential unit and underwent several permit modifications in 2022, including changes to stair access and heating system installations. The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues since late 2021, including violations related to smoke detector requirements, heat provision, and multiple permits needed for work done on the property.

A concerning pattern of unpermitted work has emerged, with active complaints regarding unauthorized construction (April 2024) and installation of roll-down metal doors (October 2022). The rear yard's second structure has generated particular scrutiny, with a 2021 complaint identifying numerous potential life safety concerns including questionable occupancy status, unapproved electrical and plumbing systems, and inadequate fire safety features. Recent building improvements include a 2021 electrical service upgrade to 400A and the installation of a new heat system.

As of March 2024, multiple signage permits have been filed for "Mission Organic," suggesting ongoing commercial property branding updates. The property has also experienced recurring issues with garbage overflow and illegal parking on nearby sidewalks, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls from early 2025, though these are more related to street conditions than building-specific concerns. While some violations from 2021 have been officially abated (notably relating to smoke detectors), several key compliance matters remain active, including building permit requirements and the status of the rear yard structure. The combination of unpermitted work complaints, multiple active violations, and the history of heating system issues reported by tenants in 2021 indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges at this property, though various system upgrades suggest some investment in improvements.
