3699 Clay St, San Francisco, CA 94118

Located in Presidio Heights, 3699 Clay Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Guy A Coney Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being a major fire alarm system upgrade completed in July 2023 at a cost of $19,720 to comply with San Francisco fire code requirements. The property has demonstrated attention to structural safety, completing its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit and obtaining Certificate of Final Completion (CFC).

Other notable improvements include a 2015 seismic upgrade ($30,000), backflow prevention assembly replacement (2014), and conversion from rooftop to street-level utility connections (2004). The building has faced various maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly between 2003 and 2016. Multiple violations were recorded related to building safety, including issues with stairs, boiler permits, and fire escape requirements, all of which were subsequently addressed and abated.

A significant complaint in May 2020 highlighted concerns about broken windows and smoke detector functionality in Unit 6, though these issues were marked as abated by August 2020. While there were two combustible materials-related fire complaints in 2015, both were resolved by December of that year. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement and street maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns, with the most recent citation for blocked driveways occurring in March 2024.
