965-985 Geneva Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The 13-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 965-985 Geneva Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood, built in 1928 and owned by Lee Lawrence & Josephine, has undergone significant recent activity primarily related to its telecommunications infrastructure. Most notably, in 2024, the building completed a substantial reroofing project costing $78,000 and underwent sound level verification work to ensure compliance with SF Fire Code requirements.

The building has been the site of numerous telecommunication equipment modifications over the years, including recent AT&T and T-Mobile antenna and equipment upgrades in 2024-2025, following a pattern of regular maintenance and updates for various carriers since 2015. The building has experienced several safety-related maintenance issues over its history, including two fire safety violations in 2018 related to fire extinguishers and alarm systems (which were subsequently abated), a 2006 violation for blocked exits, and periodic fire alarm system maintenance requirements.

There have been three documented fire alarm incidents (two detector activations with no injuries) and some infrastructure upgrades including HVAC unit replacement in 2020 and various electrical modifications to support telecommunications equipment. The property has generated multiple 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking issues and litter management in recent months, though these are external to the building's internal systems and safety features.
