4833-4837 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 4833-4837 Geary Boulevard in the Inner Richmond, owned by Fsy Empire Partners LP, was constructed in 1921 and has undergone several significant changes and improvements over the years. Most recently, in February 2024, a permit was filed for repairs to the entryway to comply with the Accessible Business Entrance Program, continuing the property's accessibility improvements. A substantial remodel was completed in 2021 on one of the residential units, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, window replacements, and electrical upgrades costing $48,000.

The building's safety systems were notably enhanced in 2018 with the installation of a new manual and automatic fire alarm system and related electrical work. The property has a complex history regarding its second-floor usage, which has been a source of multiple violations and complaints. Most notably, between 2005 and 2013, there were violations and complaints regarding the illegal conversion of a second-floor residential unit to commercial use as a massage parlor, leading to abatement proceedings.

This commercial usage issue appears to have been resolved, as subsequent records show the space remained vacant in 2018, with permits filed in 2017 and 2018 proposing childcare center usage. Between 2018-2024, there have been various maintenance and safety improvements, including stair replacements, rear yard egress modifications, and plumbing work, along with recent complaints about storefront transparency (2022) and graffiti (2023). The building's maintenance history shows attention to both residential unit improvements and compliance with city regulations, with some recent ongoing issues regarding sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal as documented in 2023-2024 311 calls.
