1552 Geneva Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The property at 1552 Geneva Ave is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1971 in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood, currently owned by Christopher Yao Wen Chen and others. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, including a recent reroofing project completed in July 2024 costing $17,500. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with previous roofing work completed in 1996, and electrical repairs inspected in December 2016.

A notable series of building violations was recorded in October 2000, involving fire safety and security requirements, including issues with fire extinguishers, fire escape obstructions, and security devices; all of these violations were officially abated by December 12, 2000. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999, 2000, 2004, 2006, and 2011, with documentation showing attention to building code compliance and maintenance. A significant complaint was filed in October 2005 regarding multiple issues including ceiling damage, mold, poor carpet conditions, and other maintenance concerns, which was resolved by December 2005.

Recent maintenance patterns suggest ongoing attention to building upkeep, though there have been recurring sewer-related issues noted in 2020 (four separate incidents), and there were two recent cases of abandoned furniture/mattresses reported in 2024. The building's location and surrounding area have experienced typical urban challenges, as evidenced by several 311 calls regarding street cleaning, parking enforcement, and street lighting issues, though these are external to the building itself and reflect neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific problems. The property's permit history shows a proactive approach to maintenance, with code compliance work documented in 1985 and routine care evidenced by the recent roofing work.
