2735 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 2735 Clay Street building is an 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential structure located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1911. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past several years, with the most recent being a reroofing project completed in September 2023 costing $16,744 and a rear window replacement project completed in June 2023. Major renovations were performed between 2015-2016, including a $97,000 soft-story retrofit completed in 2015 with steel moment frame and plywood shearwalls, followed by extensive unit renovations in Units 7 and 8 involving electrical upgrades, insulation improvements, and kitchen/bathroom modernization with costs exceeding $85,000 combined.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including window replacements (2017), a bathroom remodel in Unit B (2021), and various electrical and plumbing upgrades. The property has experienced some historical compliance issues, notably in 2000-2002 when several fire safety violations were recorded, including egress obstructions and fire extinguisher maintenance requirements, though these were all subsequently abated. There was also a significant violation in 2003 regarding unauthorized construction in the attic area, which was later resolved.

In early 2016, multiple plumbing complaints were filed regarding clay pipe failures and potential water contamination, though these issues are no longer active. The building's systems have been upgraded to current standards, including a completed Ufer ground installation in 2015 and various electrical modernization projects. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-related issues outside the building, such as parking violations and street lighting concerns, rather than problems with the building itself.
