10 Argent Aly, San Francisco, CA 94131

The 12-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 10 Argent Alley in Twin Peaks, owned by Gaehwiler Family LLC, has undergone several significant improvements and faced some safety issues over recent years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Between 2020-2021, the property underwent comprehensive electrical system upgrades, replacing outdated Federal Pacific panels in all twelve units, indicating attention to resident safety and modern infrastructure needs. The building has also received other essential improvements, including window replacements (2018, $60,000) and maintenance of exterior elements such as decks, though some older permits from 1998-1999 for reroofing and deck repairs expired without record of completion. Recent history shows mixed maintenance and safety performance, with several concerning incidents and violations.

In 2023, the building received a fire violation related to exit signage that was later abated, and in June 2023, there was a documented issue with exit maintenance that resulted in a violation. A cluster of garbage and debris issues in late 2024, including reports of human waste and abandoned furniture, suggests ongoing challenges with site cleanliness and maintenance of surrounding areas. The building's inspection history includes multiple routine inspections between 1996-2008, and while most historical fire extinguisher violations from 2000 were promptly addressed, their recurrence indicates prior oversight in safety equipment maintenance.
