595 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

595 Arguello Blvd is a two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1963 in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by 595 Arguello Apts LLC. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work occurring in 2025 involving a comprehensive renovation of Unit 1 including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, new flooring, and insulation improvements, with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades costing $80,000. One of the most critical safety improvements was completed in 2022 with a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade to comply with California state marshal code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency horns in units and a new fire alarm panel ($15,000).

The building successfully completed its soft-story retrofit in 2016, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Historical records show several maintenance and safety issues in the past, including fire safety violations in 2004 regarding combustible materials storage, plumbing issues in 2006 with a clogged floor drain and shower problems, and a 2008 complaint about roof leaks affecting tenant property. However, all these issues were resolved, and there have been no recent violations or complaints about these recurring problems.

The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to individual units, primarily focusing on kitchen and bathroom renovations, along with infrastructure improvements such as electrical panel upgrades and insulation work. Fire incident records show various incidents including minor electrical issues, a cooking fire, and a gas leak, but notably, none of these incidents resulted in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned external matters like garbage and debris on the street, which are typical for urban residential buildings.
