1151-1153 Geneva Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 1151-1153 Geneva Avenue is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in the Excelsior neighborhood, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Victoria N Shamieh Exemptio. The building underwent significant modernization work in 2006, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system ($23,000), complete electrical upgrades (including 400-amp service), and various plumbing improvements, demonstrating substantial investment in building safety and infrastructure. In 2018, the building received a house trap replacement, representing the most recent major plumbing work.

The building has a documented history of violations and maintenance issues, with a cluster of problems identified in January 2004 including lack of heat, mold in bathrooms and kitchens, rotting balcony wood, and electrical concerns, though these were all abated by March 2004. More recent inspection history includes routine fire safety checks in 2008 and building address verifications in 2007. The property has undergone several permit processes to address its mixed-use nature, including attempts to add a one-story vertical addition and a third dwelling unit, though these permits show "Closed" status without clear indication of completion.

In the past year (2024, with records extending into early 2025), there have been multiple complaints about illegal parking on sidewalks and several abandoned garbage calls near the property, though these are external to the building's condition. The most recent building-related complaints show no active violations or major maintenance issues, suggesting improved management in recent years. The building's permit history shows substantial infrastructure improvements from 2006 onwards, particularly in fire safety and electrical systems, though recent activity has been limited primarily to routine maintenance rather than major upgrades.
