756 Bay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 756 Bay Street in Russian Hill, owned by James Claussen, has a documented history dating back to its construction in 1900. The building has undergone regular maintenance, including a complete reroofing in 1989, and completed a compliance update in 1983.

The property has consistently passed routine housing inspections conducted by Housing Inspection Services between 2000 and 2008, with no active violations recorded. Recent issues affecting the building's immediate environment include several sidewalk and street maintenance concerns, with ongoing reports of human waste or urine near the property (most recently reported in January 2025), a lifted sidewalk (reported May 2024), and various illegal postings that required removal between 2020-2021.

While there were two minor fire incidents recorded—one being a contained cooking fire and another authorized controlled burning—neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building's historical permit and inspection records suggest regular maintenance and compliance with housing standards, though the recent 311 calls indicate some ongoing concerns with the surrounding public infrastructure and urban maintenance.
