790 Arkansas St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-story, two-unit residential building at 790 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Roger Howell, was constructed in 1989 and has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past few years. Most notably, between 2022 and 2024, the property has seen substantial upgrades including a comprehensive $170,000 renovation of the lower unit's basement space, structural modifications to the upper unit, and extensive remodeling of multiple bathrooms and kitchens across both units valued at $180,000. Recent HVAC improvements include furnace replacements for both units in 2023-2024.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety features, with a sprinkler system installation noted in 1988 and recent electrical upgrades including new lighting, switches, and safety equipment. The property has experienced some challenges during recent renovation work, including two construction-related complaints filed in 2022 and 2023 regarding unauthorized demolition work and construction dust affecting neighboring units. A fire code violation was issued in March 2020, though records indicate this was abated the same day.

Historically, there was a brief incident in 2008 regarding an illegal unit in the garage, which was addressed within several months. The surrounding area has seen recurring issues with parking violations and toter management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024. Recent maintenance activities have generally been properly permitted and documented, with construction work primarily handled by Barragan Builders LLC according to planning records.
