437-439 Arlington St, San Francisco, CA 94131

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 437-439 Arlington Street in Glen Park, owned by the Che Lee Family Trust, was constructed in 1972 and has undergone several significant renovations and compliance modifications over the years. Most recently, in February 2023, a $9,000 reroofing project was permitted and issued. A major compliance issue was addressed in 2007 when the property was found to have an illegal sub-basement unit, prompting a series of permits to convert the space into storage areas and bathrooms, with the work completed in 2010 at a cost of $3,000.

This project included comprehensive electrical and plumbing work, as evidenced by the corresponding permits. The building underwent significant interior improvements in 2010, including bathroom and kitchen remodels on the ground floor and basement, totaling $13,000 in renovation costs. The building's history shows attention to both maintenance and compliance issues, with several violations and complaints documented in the early 2000s, including problems with mold, interior surfaces, and windows, all of which were abated by July 2002.

More recent maintenance issues have been relatively minor, with the most notable being roofing work in 2023. Tenants have reported various issues over the years, including plumbing problems in 2009, unauthorized utility shut-offs in 2008, and a possible concrete hazard in 2007, all of which were resolved. The property has experienced occasional issues with its surroundings, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding tree maintenance and general cleaning in 2024, though these are external to the building itself. A notable cluster of building improvements occurred in 2010, including comprehensive renovations of multiple bathrooms and kitchen fixtures, which suggests ongoing attention to property maintenance and improvement by the current ownership.
