1299 Arguello Blvd, San Francisco, CA 94122

The three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 1299 Arguello Boulevard in the Inner Sunset neighborhood, built in 1912 and currently owned by the Sam B Hom Trust, has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the past few decades. Most recently, in September 2024, the building underwent water heater replacement work in unit #2, and there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in late 2024, with several Recology calls regarding overflowing city garbage cans.

The building has a history of safety and habitability concerns, particularly during a cluster of violations in early 2017, when issues included mold/mildew on walls, inadequate lighting, plumbing problems, and electrical concerns. During this period, the owner completed necessary repairs including adding stairway lights to comply with safety requirements. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including rear stair repairs in 2012, furnace replacement in 2007, and water heater replacement in 2024.

While there have been multiple fire department responses, including gas leak investigations and smoke detector activations, none resulted in civilian injuries or confirmed incidents. Historical routine inspections have identified various maintenance needs, and there were some concerning issues in 2008 regarding a bathtub with cooking equipment nearby and extension cords, though these appear to have been addressed. Recent 311 calls in late 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and garbage issues rather than building-specific problems, though there was one water leak investigation initiated in December 2024 that requires further follow-up.
