863 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94118

863 Arguello Boulevard is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by Shapiro Properties LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) at a cost of $90,000, and more recent bathroom water damage repairs in December 2023. The property has maintained its structural integrity through regular maintenance, including multiple roof replacements (most recently completed in 2022 at $18,500) and a comprehensive electrical rewiring project in 2006 that involved installing multiple circuits, receptacles, and a new panel.

The building has experienced some notable safety-related incidents and violations, particularly in 2004 and 2016, during routine safety inspections. Issues identified in 2016 included the need for carbon monoxide alarms and replacement of painted sprinkler heads, while the 2004 inspection revealed various fire safety concerns including problems with fire escape ladders, smoke detectors, and enclosures. All these violations were officially abated by December 2016.

The property's utility systems have been updated as needed, including sewer repairs in 2010 and replacement of a leaking water heater in 2008. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2015, involving one tenant and a payout of approximately $24,375.5. Most recently, in March 2024, there was a general cleaning issue addressed by street cleaning services.
