6438 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 24-unit, 3-story apartment building at 6438 Geary Boulevard in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Clyde Cournale Lvg Tr, has a mixed history of maintenance and safety concerns since its construction in 1963. Most recently, there are open fire violations from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and multiple fire safety issues were documented between 2021-2024 including problems with alarm systems and combustible materials, though most were corrected promptly.

The building has undergone several significant maintenance projects, including a 1200-amp electrical service replacement in July 2024 (currently issued), window upgrades in 2016, and historical dry rot repairs in the 1990s. A notable resident complaint in March 2016 reported water intrusion issues in unit 101, though this case is now marked as not active.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations between 2003-2007 related to fire escapes, fire proofing, and alarm systems, all of which were eventually abated. While the property shows reasonable attention to addressing maintenance issues over time, the presence of an open fire violation as of late 2023 suggests ongoing compliance monitoring may be required. The building's most recent improvements include both the window replacements and the electrical system upgrade, indicating some focus on infrastructure modernization.
