1025 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94108

The four-story duplex residential building at 1025 Clay Street in Nob Hill, owned by Jhon T Ii Poindexter, was constructed in 1957 and contains two units. The building has undergone several significant modifications over its lifetime, with the most substantial work occurring in the late 1980s, including the installation of a complete automatic fire sprinkler system in the basement and garage (completed in 1988), installation of a private residential elevator (1988), and modifications to structural elements (1988).

An attempted vertical addition was permitted in 1987, and there was also work proposed in 1990 to add to the existing fire escape, though all these permits eventually expired. Of particular concern is a building complaint filed in July 2016, alleging the presence of an illegal unit above the 1029 unit, which was reported to have structural problems and unauthorized change of use, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." In recent years, there have been multiple parking-related issues documented through 311 calls, particularly between 2020 and 2025, with several reports of vehicles blocking driveways and engaging in illegal parking, though most of these cases were resolved with officers either unable to locate the vehicles or issuing citations.

There were also some sidewalk-related issues noted, with a pavement defect reported and resolved in 2024. While the building's safety features appear to have been substantially upgraded through the 1980s renovations, the 2016 complaint about unauthorized unit construction and the ongoing parking enforcement issues in the vicinity warrant attention.
