1835 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The four-story, 16-unit multi-family residential building located at 1835 Clay Street in Pacific Heights was constructed in 1927 and is currently owned by the Wenger Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a roofing project completed in 2020 that cost $12,000, and the installation of a replacement steam boiler in 2017. In 2011, emergency egress battery lights and illuminated exit signage were added to enhance building safety.

The property had a cluster of violations in April 2010 related to fire safety and smoke detection systems, including issues with the central alarm system, fire escape drop ladder, and smoke detectors, though these were all abated by May 19, 2010. Earlier maintenance history shows concerns with the building's roof, as multiple complaints about leaks were filed in 1997, though these were resolved within days. The building's more recent history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including a gas piping repair in 2012 and street safety permits issued in 2017-2018.

Parking enforcement has been a recurring issue near the property, with multiple reports of driveway blocking in 2024. The building has faced some challenges with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by several 311 calls in 2023 regarding graffiti on the building, which was affected by the temporary suspension of enforcement of the San Francisco Graffiti Ordinance during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the property has experienced various maintenance issues over the years, most have been addressed promptly, with the most significant being the 2010 fire safety violations, which were resolved within about one month. The building's infrastructure improvements and safety upgrades over time suggest ongoing attention to maintaining the property, though recent graffiti issues indicate some challenges with exterior upkeep.
