5521-5525 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 5521-5525 Geary Blvd in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2021, the electrical system was updated with the installation of a new 100-amp main breaker and panel. The building received a new roof in 2017 (at a cost of $31,300) and underwent side stair repairs due to dry rot in 2009.

Historical improvements include the installation of six windows in 1993 and various commercial space modifications in 2007. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, including a 2012 complaint regarding moldy stairwells, lighting issues, and pest infestations, though these appear to have been resolved. The property has had recurring issues with the commercial space, most notably recent complaints about a vacant storefront dating back to 2022-2024. There was a significant violation in 2000 regarding multiple fire safety issues, including fire extinguisher maintenance and egress obstructions, though these were abated within a month.

A 2007 complaint regarding unpermitted remodeling of commercial space was eventually resolved. The building's safety record includes several false fire alarm incidents and a blocked exit issue in 2009, all of which were promptly addressed. Recent activity in early 2025 shows ongoing attention to external maintenance, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues being resolved by city services. The property's ownership is recorded under 5521 Geary Blvd LLC, and there is an approved planning record for a licensed tour guide bus service on the premises, though this does not include storage or parking provisions.
