1468-1470 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1468-1470 Clay Street in Nob Hill, built in 1908, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements under the ownership of the John E Wai 1981 Living Trust. Most notably, in March 2023, comprehensive updates were made to both units, including kitchen remodels with new cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and flooring, along with the installation of new appliances, for a total investment of $70,000. The building has received substantial bathroom improvements, including the addition of two new bathrooms and remodeling of existing ones in 2019 (for $65,000).

Mechanical upgrades were performed in 2020 with the installation of new furnaces and HVAC systems, though these permits required renewal in March 2023 for final inspection. The property has experienced recurring street-related issues in the immediate vicinity, particularly with parking violations, as evidenced by multiple reports of blocked driveways between 2023 and 2024, resulting in at least one citation being issued. There have also been several reports of garbage and debris in the area, including an encampment cleanup in March 2024.

The building itself has had minimal safety-related incidents, with only two fire alarm activations on record, neither resulting in injuries or indicating any pattern of concern. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a roofing replacement project completed in 2013. While the recent renovation work demonstrates significant investment in the property's modernization and maintenance, the recurring street-related issues suggest an ongoing challenge with the immediate neighborhood environment.
