343-345 Arkansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

This two-unit residential building, located at 343-345 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill, was built in 1984 and is currently owned by the Mcguffey Family 1991 Trust. The property has a complex history, with significant events occurring between 2003 and 2023. Most notably, from October 2020 to October 2023, the building underwent a series of violations and repairs that included issues with plumbing (sink and toilet repairs), security requirements (glazing on interior doors and self-closing devices), fire safety (egress obstruction), and general maintenance (stair repairs and wall damage).

These violations were all addressed and abated by October 2023, following a director hearing on October 20, 2022. Historical records indicate the building was originally intended as a single-family dwelling on two floors, but in 2003 it was found to be operating as two separate dwelling units, leading to compliance actions and permit renewals in 2004 and 2005. The property has experienced several maintenance issues over the years, including a sewage overflow incident in 2012, and various plumbing problems that persisted until 2023.

Multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024 have been recorded for the property, primarily regarding parking issues (three cases of blocking driveways), and some general maintenance matters like tree damage and hazardous materials on the street. Fire incidents recorded at the address have been limited to false alarms and unintentional system activations, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's permit history shows active management of violations, culminating in the most recent permit completion in 2013, which resolved outstanding compliance issues from 2004-2005.
