1555-1559 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1555-1559 Clay Street in Nob Hill, owned by Leland Wong, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several notable modifications over the years, including a significant kitchen relocation and family room conversion project completed in 2018 at a cost of $30,000, as well as a completed horizontal addition from 1998. A concerning safety issue was reported in 1997 regarding defective fireproofing in the rearside passageway ceiling, which was potentially asbestos-containing, though this complaint was promptly abated within four days.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and enforcement matters. In 2023, there was a documented case of driveway blocking resulting in a citation, following a similar incident in 2019. The building's immediate surroundings have experienced periodic issues with street cleanliness, with multiple reports of human/animal waste and loose garbage between 2018 and 2019, though these were promptly addressed.

An inspection of a tree maintenance request in December 2022 concluded that the tree was not an urgent safety hazard. Of particular note is a tenant buyout reported in May 2018 at 1559 Clay Street, where a payment of $25,000 was made to one tenant. The building has maintained a relatively low number of complaints and violations over recent years, with most reported issues being routine municipal service matters rather than significant building-specific concerns.
