1572 Geneva Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

1572 Geneva Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential apartment building located in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood. Constructed in 1970 and currently owned by Carmelita P. Wolfert, the building has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple maintenance challenges over its history.

The most extensive recent renovation occurred in 2009 when Unit 2 received substantial upgrades including conversion of storage rooms into living spaces, installation of a full bathroom, fire sprinklers, main water line, water heater, and electrical panel work, though these permits have since expired. The building has experienced notable habitability issues, particularly in 2017 when complaints were filed regarding mold, water damage, rodent infestations, and plumbing problems, leading to multiple violations including requirements for smoke detectors, security improvements, and window repairs, all of which were ultimately abated by 2018. The property has a history of routine inspections revealing various compliance issues, including a 2000 violation for gas meter-related safety requirements, and multiple 2017 violations pertaining to fire safety, security, and interior maintenance.

Past major repairs include a 2008 deck rebuild, 1995 reroofing, and 1991 garage improvements, along with a significant code compliance project in 1986. While recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as parking violations and waste management, there remains an outstanding issue from July 2022 regarding a damaged side sewer vent cover. The building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of addressing violations and conducting improvements, though some permits have expired and required work was completed without proper permits in at least one instance. The most recent documented building inspection issues date back several years, and there have been no major complaints or violations recorded since 2018, indicating potential stabilization of the building's condition.
