5530-5532 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 5530-5532 Geary Boulevard is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1909, containing 4 residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the years, with the most recent permit in October 2023 to legalize an existing awning, which was part of an amnesty program for unauthorized installations.

Between 2016-2019, the building faced notable enforcement actions related to unauthorized modifications of the rear deck area, which had allegedly been converted for commercial use, resulting in violations that required abatement procedures. The building's history includes various renovation projects, including a 2004 kitchen relocation and bedroom creation remodel, an electrical bathroom and living area alteration in the same year, and earlier permits for fire suppression system installation in 1995 and first-floor remodeling in 2000. The property has experienced some regulatory challenges, particularly regarding its commercial and residential use boundaries.

In 2022, there was a complaint about a restaurant sign above a residential window sill that violated city planning requirements, and in 2023, concerns were raised about an unauthorized awning installation that ultimately required the owner to seek amnesty. The building's current configuration includes a health-permitted restaurant with an ABC Type 41 license, both of which have been approved in accordance with San Francisco zoning regulations. Recent street conditions near the property have been documented through multiple 311 calls between 2023-2024, primarily related to encampments, sidewalk cleaning, and property maintenance issues, though these external matters are not directly related to the building's internal conditions or management.
