700 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 700 Arguello Boulevard property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by the Kimball & Jane Allen Trust. The building has undergone several significant inspections and maintenance activities over the years, including a 1996 laundromat remodel and concrete work, and a reroofing project initiated in 1994.

The property has been subject to regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services from 1996 through 2017, with particular attention to fire safety and gas utility requirements. Notably, during a 2017 inspection, the building required installation of battery-operated smoke detectors at the tops of enclosed stairs, while earlier inspections in 2001 identified multiple violations related to gas meter safety, fire extinguisher maintenance, and smoke detector requirements, all of which were subsequently abated. Recent records from early 2025 show multiple reports of garbage and debris issues on the property, with at least ten separate incidents of overflowing city garbage cans being reported and resolved by Recology.

Planning records indicate a proposal for potential expansion of the building envelope and unit modifications, though specific developer information is not provided. The property has experienced three fire-related incidents between 2013 and 2015, all of which were either immediately corrected or found to have no merit. Additionally, there has been one documented tenant buyout at the adjacent address of 3181 Turk Boulevard in October 2023, involving three tenants and a compensation amount of $65,000.
