942 Geneva Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

942 Geneva Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by a Revocable Living Trust. The building experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in mid-2006, when multiple violations were documented including problems with drainage pipes, smoke detectors, stairs, lead-based paint concerns, rodent infestation, chimney defects, floor coverings, and sanitation issues.

These violations, filed under complaint number 200670517, were all addressed and abated by August 2007. More recent improvements include a 2011 upgrade to a UL 300 standard fire suppression system in the commercial kitchen, and several exterior enhancements in 2015 including facade work, new awnings, window decals, and lighting improvements for the commercial portion of the building. The property has undergone various maintenance work over the years, including roof replacements in 1993 and 2009, and plumbing updates such as a housetrap replacement in 2014.

Recent issues have primarily involved exterior concerns, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking violations, sidewalk blockage, and garbage issues. A sewage backup incident was reported and resolved in September 2024, and there was some commercial graffiti reported and addressed in January 2024. The building's commercial space, known as the Dark Horse Inn, has received specific planning approvals for signage and a Type 87 neighborhood-restricted license, indicating continued active use of the ground-floor commercial space.
