The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 936 Leavenworth Street, owned by Raul & Denise Arriaza, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone several significant improvements over recent years. Most notably, in 2023, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including the installation of sounders in sleeping areas and new fire alarm components at a cost of $36,096.

Unit 6 received substantial renovations in the same year, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements totaling $49,000. The building has successfully completed its mandatory soft story retrofit (Tier 3) for seismic safety in 2017, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake preparedness requirements. Historical records show various maintenance and improvement projects, including multiple unit renovations (Units 3, 4, and 6), garage door replacement, foundation anchor installation, and roof work.

In 2016, the building underwent a routine inspection that revealed multiple violations related to lead paint hazards, fire safety issues, and interior surfaces, though these violations were abated by May 2016. A notable complaint from 2017 documented concerns about the condition of common area carpeting and stair safety, particularly affecting a disabled tenant, though this issue was marked as abated within a month. The property has maintained active compliance with housing codes, as evidenced by the completion of various improvements and timely resolution of violations, with no active complaints or violations currently on record.
