4826-4828 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit, three-story mixed-use building at 4826-4828 Geary Blvd in the Inner Richmond, built in 1904, has undergone several significant changes and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in March 2022, a complaint was filed regarding potential unpermitted signage. The building suffered fire damage in 1999, requiring repairs to stairs, walls, and floors, with additional repairs to a wall in October of that year.

Between 2005-2007, there were multiple violations and complaints regarding unauthorized restaurant remodeling work, including installation of new electrical and plumbing systems, bar counter area, and kitchen renovations. These violations were ultimately resolved, with permits properly obtained for subsequent work totaling $50,000 for restaurant remodeling and $4,000 for kitchen renovations. In 2023, a Notice of Violation was issued for illegal short-term rentals of multiple rooms on the second floor, which was upheld on appeal against previous owner Alice Tse, though this violation has since been abated.

The building has undergone various permitted improvements over the years, including multiple window installations, kitchen renovations on the second floor in 2007, and electrical upgrades. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 to early 2025 have primarily concerned encampments near the property, with some related to abandoned vehicles and street cleaning issues. The property's current owners, Han In Chul and Susan, have maintained the building since these historical issues were resolved, and recent planning records show proper approvals for restaurant uses and liquor licenses, though there is an outstanding matter regarding unpermitted signage that remains under review.
