7550 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 9-unit, 2-story multifamily residential building at 7550 Geary Blvd in the Outer Richmond, owned by Lee Carol Ka Lok, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance updates since its construction in 1965. Most recently, in 2023-2024, the building received comprehensive fire safety improvements including a fire alarm upgrade and installation of smoke and heat detectors throughout common areas, garages, and living spaces, with costs exceeding $35,000. The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

In 2016, two bedroom fire escape windows were replaced to improve egress safety, and the windows were upgraded in 1998 to thermally efficient models. The building experienced a series of violations in 2002 related to fire safety equipment and maintenance, all of which were resolved by January 2003. More recently, in 2021, there were significant concerns regarding plumbing issues, with tenants reporting repeated leaks and suggesting the need for system inspection due to the building's age.

Historical complaints from 1997 noted roof and window leaks causing water damage. The property has maintained an active maintenance schedule, with 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to exterior maintenance and debris removal, though there are currently two open sidewalk defect reports from 2024. Two fire-related incidents were recorded in the building's history, neither resulting in injuries or significant damage.
