Initial analysis

The three-story, 24-unit apartment building at 300 Arguello Blvd, owned by Connolly Holdings LLC, was constructed in 1972 and has undergone significant safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (at a cost of $15,000), demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. More recent improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2020 (costing $45,000) to meet current safety standards, and a main service survey completed in October 2023. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, with completed work including reroofing in 2016, and regular fire safety inspections showing prompt correction of identified violations.

Several notable incidents and concerns have been documented over the years. In 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding lead construction dust and unsafe work practices related to unit renovations, though these were promptly investigated and resolved. The building has experienced recurring elevator issues, with complaints in 2019 and 2010, and problems with the intercom system were noted in 2008-2011. A series of fire safety inspections between 2005 and 2023 recorded various fire alarm system and extinguisher-related issues, all of which were promptly corrected. The property underwent one significant cluster of violations in 2008, addressing multiple fire safety and interior maintenance issues, including door closer repairs and water damage in the lobby, which were all resolved by 2011. More recently, there has been ongoing attention required for waste management, with multiple reports in early 2025 regarding overflowing garbage containers outside the building.

Risk rating

How 300 Arguello Blvd's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
