672-676 Hayes St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 672-676 Hayes Street, owned by Raul and Denise Arriaza, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1900. Between 2008 and 2012, the building underwent multiple routine safety inspections that revealed various violations requiring attention, including concerns about combustible materials, security features, and fire safety equipment.

Notable violations during this period involved the need for handrails, proper locks, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and repairs to the wooden structure on the north side. More recent issues include a 2018 incident of no hot water, a potentially concerning report in 2014 about floor boards and suspected asbestos, and a reroofing project completed in 1988. The property has also faced various external maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in the past year (2023-2025) regarding street conditions around the building, including reports of graffiti, waste, and abandoned furniture.

These recent external incidents, while not directly impacting building safety, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges in the surrounding area. The only recorded fire incident was a minor overheating motor issue with no civilian injuries. The most recent documented building issue was resolved approximately two weeks after being reported, demonstrating relatively prompt response to maintenance concerns.
