860 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

860 Arguello Blvd is a 15-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by the Bernice Goodwin Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 2) at a cost of $108,400, and installing a Ufer ground system in 2017.

Historical records show recurring fire safety concerns, particularly related to the fire escape system, with multiple violations and complaints between 2000-2009 regarding damaged ladders, fire proofing, and alarm systems. The building has experienced maintenance challenges in the past, including two separate water heater replacements in 2008 and 2010, and more serious issues in 1998 involving mold, broken windows, and inadequate lighting. A safety inspection in 2016 was documented, and there have been periodic fire department responses, primarily for alarm system issues and one instance of blocked exits in 2009, though none resulted in civilian injuries.

The property has shown recent signs of maintenance and safety improvements, with no active violations or complaints related to the building's core systems in recent years. The most recent building-related service requests and complaints have been minimal and typically involve external issues such as street maintenance and park services, indicating improved building management and maintenance. The 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to municipal services outside the building itself, suggesting that while there are ongoing neighborhood concerns, they are not directly related to the building's condition or management.
