1215-1217 Geneva Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 1215-1217 Geneva Ave in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1978, currently owned by Yiu Po Leung and Li Bing. The building has undergone several notable changes, with the most recent permit filed in March 2023 for interior upgrades including ADA bathroom modifications and kitchen improvements. Historically, there have been multiple building and safety issues that were addressed, including routine fire safety violations in 2007-2008 relating to fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and enclosure doors, as well as various repairs needed in 2009-2011 for mold issues and a broken handrail.

Three gas leak incidents were recorded between 2017 and 2018, though no civilian injuries were reported. The ground-floor commercial space has transitioned from a grocery/ice cream retail operation to a coffee shop-limited restaurant in 2013, currently operating as Stop-N-Wrap Café. Recent concerns near the property (2024) primarily involve street maintenance and parking issues, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking and debris, though these are not directly related to the building's condition.

The building experienced some maintenance challenges in the late 2000s, including water damage and mold issues, but these appear to have been resolved. The most recent tenant complaint was filed in 2018 regarding after-hours construction noise. The property has maintained regular safety inspections, with all identified violations being addressed and resolved, though a 2017 fire complaint about blocked exits was found to have no merit. The recent building permit activity and routine inspections suggest ongoing maintenance and compliance with safety standards, though prospective tenants should note the building's history of periodic maintenance issues and filing of complaints.
