812-816 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 5-unit, 2-story apartment building at 812-816 Arguello Boulevard in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by John H III and Holly Ann Dissme, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2019, the building experienced serious violations related to lead paint, window repairs, and water-damaged walls and ceilings, which were officially abated by August 15, 2019, following the installation of 13 Marvin Ultimate clad wood windows and 4 vinyl windows at a cost of $20,000.

The building has undergone several major renovations, including substantial electrical upgrades in 2012 with a complete electrical remodel and new sub-panel installation, and significant unit improvements in 2009-2012 involving kitchen and bathroom renovations across multiple units, including new cabinets, fixtures, finishes, and electrical updates totaling over $50,000. Recent maintenance and safety issues include a sewage backup reported in December 2023, though most recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking violations and sidewalk issues outside the building. Historical records show recurring maintenance challenges, including a documented case of mold, inadequate heat, and water damage in 2005, as well as routine safety inspections in 2016 that yielded 4 citations for various violations.

The building underwent significant electrical system improvements in 2005, including underground electrical service installation with 6 meters. A smoke detector activation due to malfunction was recorded, with no civilian injuries. While the property has experienced several serious maintenance issues over its history, recent years show fewer building-specific complaints, though regular parking violations continue to be reported in the vicinity.
