545-547 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 545-547 Arguello Blvd in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Nancy Y Wong Living Trust, was constructed in 1968 and has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building completed a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing over $28,000 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and upgrading to a compatible fire alarm control panel.

The building previously completed a mandatory Tier III soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016, which included new foundations and shearwalls, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake preparedness requirements. The property has maintained regular safety inspections, with records of routine inspections in 2001, 2004, and 2016, though no significant violations have been noted from these inspections.

The building's electrical system received attention in 2017 with the installation of a ufer grounding system, and there is one recorded incident of a fire detector activation with no fire in an unspecified date. In terms of recent neighborhood issues, there have been multiple reports in 2024 regarding garbage and debris on the street, and several reports of bicycle lane blocking incidents between November 2023 and March 2024, though these are street-related issues outside the building itself. The property's maintenance of critical safety systems, including the recent fire alarm upgrades and successful completion of the soft story retrofit, suggests attention to compliance with current safety standards.
