239 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 239 Clayton Street in Park North has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades since 2017, when it received a mandatory soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, which has since been completed. The most recent major improvements include a 2023 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with SF Fire Code requirements, and the creation of two new ground-floor dwelling units (ADUs) in 2022, which involved substantial building modifications including electrical upgrades, new fire sprinklers, and the installation of mini-splits and heat pump water heaters.

The property underwent comprehensive unit improvements in 2021-2022, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in all six units (2021), complete electrical system upgrades (2021), and the addition of modern amenities like heat pumps. Several building permits indicate ongoing commitment to fire safety, with work completed in 2022 including the installation of fire sprinklers throughout the ground floor and electrical enhancements for the new ADUs. The building's plumbing systems have also received attention, with new house traps, piping, and fixtures installed throughout the building.

While there have been some complaints from residents during the renovation period in 2022 regarding construction dust and noise, these issues were addressed promptly. The property has maintained regular safety inspections, and while some routine maintenance issues have been reported over the years, including a tenant complaint about odors in 2008, these were generally resolved through proper channels. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) primarily relate to building maintenance issues like graffiti and sidewalk parking violations, which are being addressed through standard city procedures.
