207-211 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 207-211 Clayton Street, owned by Bramer Baird L and constructed in 1909, is currently facing significant safety and habitability concerns. Most notably, a series of active complaints filed in June 2024 have documented serious violations, including the removal of plaster down to bare framing in the upper unit, creating fire hazards, as well as blocked exit corridors filled with objects and materials. These violations have been recognized under multiple codes, including SFBC 102.A and SFBC 110A Table 1A-K, with a final warning letter issued on November 6, 2024.

The building has a history of maintenance issues, with permits from 1997 (now expired) for window and siding work on the second and third floors, and a completed permit from 1987 for replacing front stucco. Previous concerns were documented in 2016 regarding clutter on the second and third levels, and more recently in 2024, violations were issued for hoarding and blocked exits, along with storage of combustibles in exit paths, though some fire violations were subsequently rescinded. The building has experienced recurring issues with unauthorized work and safety hazards over the years.

A tarped covering on the back of the building was reported in 1997, adding to the concerns about unauthorized modifications. While historical records show some exterior maintenance efforts in the late 20th century, the recent pattern of violations points to significant deterioration of building conditions. The property has also been subject to numerous parking-related issues in the vicinity between 2018 and 2024, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and sidewalk parking, though these are not direct reflections on the building's condition. Recent 311 calls primarily concern parking violations, while historical issues included graffiti and a sidewalk defect complaint in 2016, which was investigated and found to be resolved at the time.
