1480-1490 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 7-unit multi-family residential building at 1480-1490 Clay Street in Nob Hill is a three-story structure built in 1909, currently owned by Randall S & Thelma A Tong L. The property has undergone several significant maintenance operations over the years, with the most recent being a boiler replacement in 2019 (completed) and stair repairs in 2017 ($3,000). Historical maintenance records show recurring attention to stair safety, with previous repairs documented in 1988 and a foundation height increase and dry rot repair in 1999.

The building experienced violations in 2019 related to boiler permit compliance, and in 2009 regarding stair repairs, though these were subsequently abated. Recent activity around the property has primarily centered on external maintenance and neighborhood conditions, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street cleaning issues including garbage, debris, and hazardous materials. There have also been reports of noise related to garbage collection.

Although there have been documented incidents such as a CO detector activation and false alarms, none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's infrastructure has seen systematic upgrades, including electrical system improvements in 2005 with a comprehensive panel and meter installation. Routine housing inspections have occurred over the years, with one significant complaint in 2006 regarding bathroom work causing temporary disruption. The property has maintained compliance with most housing codes, addressing violations as they arise, though the number of 311 calls related to street conditions in recent months suggests ongoing challenges with the surrounding area.
