3014 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94115

3014 Clay Street is a 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by 3014 Clay G1 LP. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 costing $44,000 to comply with SFFC 1103.7.6.1, along with the installation of new fire safety equipment in sleeping areas and common areas. Recent maintenance issues have included multiple gas leak repairs in early 2023, and a heating system replacement for unit 2B. The building underwent a kitchen and bathroom rehabilitation in unit 2A in 2021, and there are ongoing efforts to add auxiliary dwelling units (ADUs) to the property, with permits issued in 2021 for creating new living spaces in the basement and ground floor areas.

The property has a history of fire safety concerns that have generally been addressed promptly, including several fire code violations and complaints between 2005 and 2023 regarding fire extinguishers, alarms, and exit maintenance. A notable fire incident occurred in 2007 affecting units 3C and 2C, which required substantial repairs. The building underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements. Historical complaints from the mid-1990s regarding water damage and window leaks were resolved.

Recent building history shows active maintenance and compliance with safety regulations, though there have been recurring issues with gas line maintenance and building systems that suggest ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property has also experienced various routine maintenance issues typical of older buildings, including earlier complaints about leaking windows, water damage, and electrical system challenges. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned parking enforcement and street maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems. The building management has demonstrated responsiveness to safety violations and maintenance needs, as evidenced by the completion of multiple corrective actions and permits in recent years.
