The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1175 Clay Street in Nob Hill, owned by Vincent M Chinn 2021 Descen, was constructed in 1914 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years.

The building has a history of regular safety inspections, with routine inspections conducted in 2019, 2016, 2009, and 2002, all of which were completed without major issues. Notable improvements include the 1997 conversion of storage space to a garage and seismic upgrades, installation of aluminum windows in 1984 and 1988, and a reroofing project in 2002. The building experienced several violations in the early 2000s, primarily related to fire safety and security requirements, including issues with smoke enclosure doors, door closers, and a hydronic boiler permit compliance that were all resolved by 2005.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external matters such as parking enforcement and street cleaning, with the most recent 311 calls in 2024 relating to garbage and debris concerns, which were promptly addressed. While there have been occasional issues with sidewalk cleanliness and parking violations in the vicinity, these are typical of urban environments and have generally been addressed through normal city services. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to safety upgrades and regular inspections, with no active violations or recent complaints about the building's condition.
