5812-5822 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 5812-5822 Geary Boulevard in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Minh Ngo & Trinh Thuan Thai, was constructed in 1922 and includes both residential and commercial spaces. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a $14,000 reroofing project in 2017, comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2003 (installing a new panel with extensive circuitry), and plumbing work in 2016 involving pipe replacement. Unit #1 received a significant kitchen remodel in 2011, including electrical and plumbing updates to comply with current codes.

Most recently, in 2024, the property underwent an awning amnesty program compliance work, affecting multiple businesses including "Safe Harbor CPA's and Income Tax" and "City Spine Center." The building's maintenance history reveals some concerning patterns, particularly regarding fire safety. In September 2023, multiple fire code violations were documented and subsequently abated, including issues with fire extinguishers, electrical clearance, sprinkler maintenance, and gas cylinder security. These violations were all related to commercial spaces within the building.

The property has also experienced periodic maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning, graffiti removal, and various public works matters. Historical records from 2003 show some security and fire escape maintenance violations that were promptly abated. The building has a mix of residential and commercial spaces, with recent complaints (2022) regarding unpermitted signage, though these issues appear to have been addressed through the 2024 sign amnesty program. The property has undergone regular maintenance and improvements, but the pattern of fire code violations suggests ongoing attention is required in this area.
