1031-1035 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1031-1035 Clay Street in Nob Hill, owned by Harold & Julia Lai Hong Rev, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant upgrades over its history. Most notably, in March 2024, electrical infrastructure improvements were completed to replace outdated knob-and-tube wiring, including the installation of a 60A/240V electrical sub-panel and new wiring throughout the building.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and safety compliance issues, with a cluster of violations recorded in November 2009 related to fire safety and building maintenance, including fire alarm maintenance, handrail requirements, fire extinguisher charging, and garbage receptacle management - all of which were abated by December 2009. Earlier, in 2000, violations were recorded regarding egress obstruction and gas meter instructions, and in 2011, there was a report of a rock slide affecting the property's rear area.

The building's maintenance history includes several substantial repairs, such as front window replacements in 1995, reroofing work in 1989, and multiple permits in 1987 for kitchen remodeling, window modifications, and dry rot repairs with staircase reconstruction. While the property has experienced various issues, including a pattern of parking enforcement calls and recent graffiti (as of October 2023), there have been no reported civilian injuries from fire incidents. The most recent building-related inspections and permits indicate ongoing maintenance and infrastructure upgrades, particularly focusing on modernizing the electrical systems, while historical violations suggest a period of heightened attention to safety compliance around 2000-2009.
