409 Arkansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The property at 409 Arkansas St in Potrero Hill is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1978, currently owned by the Yang Revocable Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a completed reroofing project in May 2023 that cost $15,000, and the conversion of an existing storage room in the basement completed in 1986.

The building has experienced recurring sewer-related issues, with three documented sewage backup incidents through the 4-inch sewer vent between June 2021 and January 2023, along with a missing side sewer vent cover reported in December 2021. Both graffiti incidents reported in January 2023 (one on the building and another on a street structure) were resolved, though during a period when the city had suspended enforcement of the Graffiti Ordinance due to the COVID pandemic.

More recent concerns include two separate tree maintenance issues reported in 2024 - one for an overgrown tree near communication lines (open as of October 2024) and another for overgrown tree pruning (resolved August 2024). The property has also experienced some exterior maintenance challenges, including an abandoned furniture incident requiring street cleaning in July 2024. The building's management has generally responded to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the completion of multiple repairs and the resolution of most complaints through appropriate city agencies.
