4800-4804 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story multi-family residential building at 4800-4804 Geary Boulevard in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Randolph L & Katie W Yip Re, was constructed in 1908 and contains three residential units plus commercial space. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a comprehensive window replacement project in 2012 that installed 43 new fiberglass vinyl windows, and substantial unit upgrades in 2021-2022 involving kitchen remodeling, bathroom conversions, and electrical and plumbing system improvements. Of particular note is an ongoing plumbing issue reported in December 2022 at 4804 Geary Boulevard, where open areas around pipes were documented, and a cancelled permit request in October 2023 related to a second-story projection sign removal.

The building has experienced multiple fire alarm activations, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries, with the most recent being a malfunction-related alarm. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 show several street cleaning and maintenance requests near the property, including reports of human waste, though most were resolved without requiring further action. The property has a history of addressing accessibility requirements, as demonstrated by a 2019 modification to comply with the accessible business entrance program, and more recent efforts to legalize signage through a 2024 permit.

Two significant structural repairs were completed prior to 2012, including back stair repairs in 2019 and 2003. The building's electrical system has been upgraded over the years, with the most recent major work completed in 2021 involving kitchen rewiring, bathroom wiring, and electrical panel updates. While there have been various maintenance and improvement projects undertaken, including kitchen remodeling and bathroom conversions, some recent issues remain outstanding, such as the active plumbing complaint from 2022. The property has maintained compliance with most building requirements, though there was a brief period in 2022 when work was performed without an apparent permit related to a projecting sign, which was subsequently addressed through proper channels.
