7555 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

7555 Geary Boulevard is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood, built in 1962 and currently owned by 40th/Geary Partners LP. The property has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over recent years, most notably including a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2022-2025 to comply with current fire safety standards, and the completion of mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016. The building has seen substantial unit improvements, with multiple apartments receiving modernizations between 2019-2024, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, window replacements, and various system upgrades.

Some recent building concerns include recurring fire safety system violations in 2023-2024 related to sprinklers, alarms, and a current open violation regarding sleeping area requirements as of December 2023. There have also been three complaints filed regarding building work in 2019 (Unit 304), 2023 (Unit 301), and a soft-story permit issue in 2016, though these have all been marked as not active or abated. Recent maintenance records show regular updating of building systems, including furnace and heater replacements in 2022-2023, though there was one plumbing incident in March 2023 involving water shutoff for four hours.

The property has maintained active compliance with seismic retrofitting requirements as a Tier 2 soft-story building, and most recent fire safety violations have been promptly addressed. The building's owner has invested significantly in upgrading individual units and common systems, with over $360,000 recorded in building permits since 2020. While there have been multiple fire safety violations over the past few years, the property has generally demonstrated responsiveness to maintenance needs and code compliance issues. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking violations and street cleaning matters rather than building-specific issues, suggesting that external neighborhood concerns are the primary source of recent complaints.
