3721 Geary Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 3721 Geary Blvd is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing two residential units above a commercial space (Star India restaurant), and is currently held in trust by Elizabeth K Hom. The building has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade, most recently with applications in 2023-2024 to address accessibility compliance and to legalize an existing awning under the awning amnesty program.

In 2007, significant infrastructure work was completed with the replacement of failed underground sewer lines and installation of a new cleanout system. The building has a concerning history of emergency elevator incidents, with multiple fire department responses recorded for elevator rescues between 2016-2019, though fortunately none involved civilian injuries. Recent years have shown repeated issues with exterior maintenance, particularly around the restaurant area, with tenant complaints filed in 2022 regarding expired permits and unauthorized signage above residential windows.

An unauthorized hot water heater replacement incident was reported in 2015, and there have been multiple complaints regarding overflowing city garbage cans on the property in early 2025, though these were resolved by Recology. The building's permit history shows various attempts at maintenance and improvements, including past work to replace the store's awning and rear yard shed construction, though some permits, such as for the storage shed, were ultimately cancelled. A planning complaint remains open regarding an expired awning permit and projecting sign permit, which is noted to be located above residential window sills.
