205-207 Arkansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-unit residential building at 205-207 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Paul J. and Rosalinda F. Corvi, has a mixed history of maintenance and safety compliance issues since its construction in 1978.

While historical records show basic maintenance such as reroofing in 1990 and 2004, more recent concerns are notable. The property has experienced recurring fire code violations, with the most recent citation in September 2024, and multiple past violations between 2007 and 2021 related to alarm systems, combustible materials, and sprinkler systems. There have been various fire-related incidents recorded, primarily involving false alarm activations and one documented cooking fire, though none resulted in civilian injuries.

The building has faced several infrastructure and maintenance challenges in recent months, particularly in 2024, including a water leak (October), reports of rodent/insect infestation (September), and multiple structural maintenance issues involving recreation equipment (August-October). Recent 311 calls indicate ongoing concerns with garbage and debris management in the vicinity, with the most recent report of liquid spills and debris in progress as of January 2025. Additionally, there have been some historical improvement attempts, such as a proposed sunroom addition in 2003, though this permit was withdrawn. The property has generally maintained basic structural integrity, as evidenced by the completion of numerous maintenance tasks, but the frequency of recent fire violations and maintenance calls suggests a pattern of deferred upkeep that may affect resident comfort and safety.
