616 Arkansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 616 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Martin A Gaehwiler Jr Tr, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades. Most recently, in October 2023, the building received a $40,000 front window replacement project, and in 2007, substantial interior upgrades were completed including kitchen cabinet replacement, bathroom vanity replacement, and electrical system improvements including the installation of smoke detectors, new lighting, and kitchen equipment wiring.

The building faced multiple fire and safety violations in mid-2007, which were all promptly addressed and abated by September 2007, including issues with door closers, sprinkler heads, ventilation, and fire extinguishers. The property has had routine housing inspections in 2014, and a notable incident involving sewage backup occurred in March 2022, though this appears to have been resolved.

Recent maintenance issues have primarily centered around the outdoor areas, with several reports from 2020-2022 regarding sidewalk conditions and tree root impacts, though some of these cases remain open as of the latest reports. Historical records show earlier building maintenance work including a roofing project in 1997 and various repairs in 2004. The building has maintained compliance with housing regulations since the 2007 violations were resolved, with no recent fire safety issues reported.
