5527-5529 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 5527-5529 Geary Blvd is a two-story, mixed-use building constructed in 1922 in the Central Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by Petros Balakas and containing three residential units plus commercial space. The building has undergone several significant improvements, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2009-2010, including a major kitchen remodel, bathroom updates, and an electrical service upgrade to 400 amps, completed with all necessary plumbing and electrical permits.

Earlier improvements include structural modifications in 1988, a garage door replacement in 1992, and two roofing projects in 1998, though those permits have expired. The building had documented maintenance and safety concerns in 2003, when residents reported issues with windows allowing air and noise infiltration, lighting problems with a short circuit, security concerns with worn-out locks, and inadequate insulation in a pantry - though these issues were promptly addressed within one day.

Recent property maintenance patterns show multiple garbage and debris complaints in late 2024, primarily related to street cleaning matters, and two currently open issues from January 2024 regarding tree root damage to sewer infrastructure, which appears to be an ongoing concern that may affect the property. While the building's major systems appear to have been recently updated, the age of the structure (101 years) and the age of some previous improvement permits (1998) suggest regular maintenance may be necessary.
