240-242 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-unit, two-story apartment building at 240-242 Arguello Blvd in Presidio Heights, owned by Cummings Douglas & Francis, is a 1922 multi-family residential structure that has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past several decades. The most recent renovations include a $40,000 kitchen remodel completed in January 2023, and substantial bathroom upgrades in 2021 where two bathrooms were expanded and remodeled at a cost of $32,000 each, featuring new showers, toilets, and vanities.

Earlier improvements include window replacements in 2016 (12 windows), exterior staircase repairs, and major renovations in 2014 that involved updating electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and bathroom facilities. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both safety and comfort, with a focus on modernizing facilities and systems. Notable infrastructure improvements include an electric vehicle charging station installation (2020), underground service conversion to 200 amp with 4 meters (2004), and comprehensive bathroom renovations dating back to 1999.

While there was a cluster of building violations documented in 2002 related to stairs, ceilings, and safety equipment (including fire extinguishers and smoke detectors), these issues were promptly addressed and abated within two months. The property has experienced minimal safety incidents, with only one recorded building fire (unintentional, with no injuries) and a false alarm, indicating generally good fire safety management. Recent 311 calls in 2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti, noise, and parking concerns, rather than building-specific problems.
