6120-6122 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 6120-6122 Geary Boulevard is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1923, featuring three residential units above retail space, currently owned by the Paul Downey Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant alterations over its lifetime, with the most substantial work occurring between 1988-1990 when a horizontal addition was attempted (though the permit expired), followed by various structural modifications including framing details adjustments, partition removals, and the installation of a fire sprinkler system in the retail area, which were all successfully completed.

More recent improvements include interior alterations in 2001 and plumbing updates in 2017 for new kitchen fixtures and washer installation, though some complaints related to work without proper permits have been filed, including a 2022 incident involving an unauthorized sign placement by Ace Hardware above a residential window sill. The building's recent history shows concerning patterns regarding garbage management, with multiple 311 calls between December 2024 and January 2025 reporting overflowing city garbage cans, though these were all resolved. While there have been several fire alarm activations recorded, none resulted in actual fires or injuries, primarily consisting of false alarms, system malfunctions, or accidental activations.

The property has faced regulatory scrutiny for potential illegal short-term rentals, with a closed investigation indicating violations by the owner. A notable tenant complaint occurred in April 2012 regarding excessive jack hammering during early morning hours, though this was addressed relatively quickly. The building's permit history shows periodic interior modifications and maintenance work, with the most recent documented work being the 2017 plumbing update, while no significant structural changes have been attempted in the past decade.
