798 Geneva Ave, San Francisco, CA 94112

The three-story, four-unit apartment building at 798 Geneva Ave in the Outer Mission neighborhood, owned by Mario and Gino A Gentile, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges over the years. Most notably, the building has active violations from 2011 relating to building safety and maintenance that have remained unresolved for over a decade, including issues with stairway handrails, fire safety equipment, and plumbing systems, despite a director hearing date set for October 2012.

In recent years, the property has seen substantial renovation efforts, with permits filed in 2022 and 2024 for extensive unit improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels, structural modifications, and compliance upgrades. The building's maintenance has included historical work such as reroofing in 2006 and the installation of a new 9-foot gate and fence in 2022. Recent activity around the property shows ongoing environmental maintenance needs, with multiple 311 calls in early 2025 regarding garbage, debris, and sidewalk issues.

The building's safety record includes two fire-related complaints (in 2008 and 2016) that were found to have no merit, and a malfunctioning CO detector activation. Planning records indicate proper permitting for a new rear window and an approved front security gate design. The property has experienced two tenant buyouts in recent years, with payments of $50,000 to two tenants in 2023 and $20,000 to four tenants in 2018, and a notable buyout of $74,850 to two tenants at a nearby address in 2022.
