725 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

725 Arguello Blvd is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1972 in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 that cost $80,000, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety requirements. This retrofit was preceded by a filed permit in 2017 and is classified as a Tier 3 soft-story building that has received its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).

The building has a documented history of fire safety violations and upgrades. In 2005, a non-required manual fire alarm system was installed, followed by a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade including control unit, manual alarm boxes, smoke detectors, heat detectors, and strobe lights. Multiple fire-related violations were recorded between 2001 and 2011, including issues with fire extinguishers, combustible storage, smoke detectors, and fire doors, though all these violations were eventually abated. Two fire alarm system complaints were filed and corrected in 2006 and 2012.

The building has experienced several fire incident calls, mostly relating to false alarms or good intent calls, with no civilian injuries reported. The property has undergone periodic routine inspections, with the most recent significant inspection occurring in 2014. Earlier resident complaints from 1995 noted various maintenance issues including plumbing leaks, broken shower doors, window problems, and pest concerns, though these were resolved. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street-level issues such as abandoned vehicles and sidewalk maintenance, which are municipal rather than building-specific concerns.
