296-298 Arlington St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 296-298 Arlington Street in Glen Park, owned by Michael and Stephanie Silva, has a complex history dating back to its 1933 construction. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues, particularly evident through multiple "vacant building" and "vacant storefront" complaints filed between 2014 and 2019, indicating periods of neglect and abandonment. Notably, there were two building violations in 2002 related to unauthorized foundation work and various repairs, though these were abated by November 2002.

The building underwent several electrical system upgrades between 2005 and 2018, including a 200-amp service change, though there are still active concerns regarding expired permits for electrical work done in both residential and commercial portions as of April 2013. The property has received multiple notices for exterior maintenance issues, including peeling paint and detached wood trim in 2012, which contributed to blight concerns. In 2014, the building was cited for failing to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, though these violations are now marked as not active.

More recent activity at the property includes various 311 calls for issues such as illegal parking, abandoned vehicles, graffiti, and hazardous materials on public property, most of which have been resolved. Building improvements have included window replacements and front door repairs, with permits filed in 2003 and 2014 respectively. Planning records show attempts to subdivide the corner lot, though these proposals were noted for not meeting minimum lot area requirements.
