561 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 561 Arguello Blvd in the Inner Richmond, managed by Mah Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1967. Most notably, in late 2023, Unit #6 received extensive renovations including new kitchen cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting improvements, and comprehensive bathroom updates, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed under permits totaling approximately $80,400. The building has also addressed major structural requirements, completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (costing $85,000) with follow-up structural revisions, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety standards.

Other important maintenance work includes a 2012 reroofing project ($11,000) and a foundation underpinning improvement in 2005 ($10,000). The building's history includes several routine housing inspections (1996, 2001, 2004, and 2010) which identified various safety requirements that were subsequently addressed. These included issues with egress obstruction, fire extinguisher maintenance, door repairs, and security requirements, all of which were resolved within reasonable timeframes.

More recently, there have been three fire extinguisher-related complaints in 2024 and 2008, which show ongoing attention to safety equipment maintenance, though the 2024 complaint appears still open as of the latest data. The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024, though most resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles, with only two citations issued. The building's soft-story retrofit was classified as Tier 3 with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued, indicating full compliance with the city's seismic safety requirements.
