3401 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94118

3401 Clay Street is a 32-unit, 7-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1931, currently managed by 3401 Clay Street Joint Venture. The building has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years, including the installation of a new addressable fire alarm system in 2021 and the replacement of low-pressure steam boilers in 2024.

However, there are currently two open violations related to high-rise sprinkler system compliance issued in December 2024. The building has a documented history of fire safety concerns, with multiple fire code violations recorded between 2017 and 2024, including issues with sprinkler systems, exit maintenance, and combustible materials, though most of these were eventually corrected. The property has experienced routine inspections over the years, with notable findings in 2004 regarding fire escapes, smoke stacks, and smoke detector issues, though these violations were abated by November 2004.

More recent issues include a lead paint containment complaint from 2019 and a routine inspection in 2016 that remains active. The building's service history shows regular maintenance and updates to compliance with safety codes, though recent violations suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining all systems to current standards. Emergency response data indicates typical incidents for a building of this age and size, including elevator rescues, smoke detector activations, and false alarms, with no civilian injuries reported in these events.
