225 Arkansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The 225 Arkansas Street property is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill and owned by Hoolhorst Family Trust. Built in 1900, this flats and duplex building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in 2019, substantial structural work was completed at the basement level, including foundation and slab replacement, removal of center posts, and installation of plywood shear walls, representing a significant investment of $190,000 in building safety and stability.

Recent improvements include the garage-level remodel completed in 2021, and comprehensive plumbing work in 2020 that involved installation of new plumbing systems for both the first and second floors, as well as electrical upgrades including step lighting installation in 2015. The building has a documented history of mechanical system upgrades, including two furnace replacements in 2016 and 2017, and water heater strapping work in 2015. An important administrative determination was made in 2016 to formally document the building's legal use and occupancy, confirming its configuration as a three-story building with two residential units plus a garage on the ground floor.

A complaint regarding inaccessible front stairs and lack of alley lighting was filed in March 2016, though it is unclear from the records whether this issue was fully resolved. The property has generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues, which were generally addressed by city services. While there have been multiple street space permits filed between 2019 and 2020, their specific purposes are not detailed in the records.
