1416 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 24-unit apartment building at 1416 Clay Street in Nob Hill, owned by SF 1301 Leavenworth Street, is a 4-story structure built in 1907. The building has undergone significant improvements over recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire safety upgrade completed in 2022-2023 that included new fire alarm systems and wireless sounders throughout the building. The property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Recent renovations include unit upgrades (bathroom and kitchen remodels, washer/dryer replacements) in multiple apartments, particularly units 12 and 35. The building has maintained active compliance with building codes, though a recent boiler permit issue was addressed and abated by August 2024. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to essential systems, including window replacements to match original specifications in 2017 and the installation of EV charging infrastructure in 2013, though this permit eventually expired.

Multiple fire safety-related callouts have occurred, including several false alarms and system malfunctions, though none resulted in injuries or significant incidents. While there have been various building complaints over the years, most have been resolved promptly, such as water damage repairs in 2012 and an elevator maintenance issue in 2015. Recent concerns include a 2024 complaint about dryer lint buildup and a boiler permit renewal issue, both of which were addressed. The building has undergone regular interior updates and maintains active compliance with San Francisco's housing codes, though some permits from 2015-2017 expired without completion.
