7827-7829 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

This two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building at 7827-7829 Geary Blvd in the Outer Richmond, owned by Bessie P Wong Family Trust 200, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1906. The most substantial recent work includes a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2014 (as a Tier 3 building), which involved the installation of new steel shear walls and foundation upgrades costing $40,000.

The building has also received attention to its exterior and structural elements, including a cement board siding replacement in 2015 ($12,000), partial foundation repairs in 2013 ($26,000), and related electrical work. The property faced several maintenance and safety challenges between 2012-2013, including serious mold issues documented in multiple complaints, with reports of extensive mold in various living spaces and water intrusion problems. These issues were addressed through subsequent repairs, including lead hazard remediation work and improvements to the hot water heater flue.

The building's fire safety systems have required consistent attention, with a significant 2003 violation related to fire alarm systems and subsequent repairs, followed by a series of fire safety inspections in 2017 that resulted in necessary corrections to alarm systems, fire escape, and extinguishers. More recent documentation shows ongoing maintenance of the surrounding area, with multiple sanitation-related 311 calls in 2023-2024, though these primarily relate to street conditions rather than building-specific issues. The most recent major building work was completed in 2014, with no major violations or complaints recorded in the past several years, suggesting improved maintenance standards and compliance with safety requirements.
