7700 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 18-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 7700 Geary Blvd, constructed in 1929, has undergone numerous significant maintenance and safety improvements in recent years. Most notably, the building has completed major safety upgrades, including a $50,000 reroofing project (2024), installation of a new fire alarm system ($50,886, 2024), and electrical system improvements including new panels and main disconnect installation (2024). The building is classified as a Tier 2 soft-story retrofit property, with that work completed and CFC issued.

However, there are several concerning current issues, including active complaints filed in 2024 regarding non-operational windows, security concerns with common area doors, and potential fire escape safety issues. Previously, the building faced significant maintenance challenges between 2016-2018, including multiple violations related to water damage, weatherproofing, and interior surface issues, though these were subsequently abated. The property has experienced recurrent fire safety concerns over the years, with violations and complaints regarding alarm systems, sprinklers, and extinguishers, though most have been corrected. Recent work has included residential unit improvements, such as kitchen remodels in units 108 and 312 (2017), and the addition of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) was filed in 2019.

Infrastructure improvements include multiple boiler and water heater replacements (2018-2024) and a comprehensive plumbing system upgrade. Recent building inspections and permits show ongoing maintenance attention, with several active complaints as of 2024 regarding window functionality and rooftop work, though many historical violations have been resolved. The property has also had issues with garbage management and debris accumulation in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2023-2024. While the building has undergone substantial safety upgrades and improvements in recent years, the persistence of some active maintenance issues and complaints suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident satisfaction.
