401 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 401 Clayton Street in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, owned by David Mischel, is a two-unit structure built in 1900 that has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance works over the years. Most recently, in 2016, the property underwent substantial improvements including a complete reroofing project with 30-year shingles costing $11,000, along with major interior renovations to Unit 401A that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling ($25,000) and the addition of a half bath ($4,000).

These improvements were accompanied by corresponding electrical and plumbing upgrades. Earlier renovations included various kitchen and bathroom updates in 2005 ($20,000) and 1987 (expired permit), installation of aluminum windows in 1988, and replacement of stairs and porch components.

The building's recent history shows increased activity in late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple 311 calls regarding street maintenance issues including graffiti on public infrastructure (January 2025) and several reports of abandoned furniture and debris on the sidewalk, though these were generally resolved promptly by city services. A benign fire incident involving outside rubbish was recorded, with no civilian injuries reported. The property appears to be well-maintained from a structural perspective, with no major building code violations or safety concerns on record, though the recent concentration of street cleaning issues in the vicinity may reflect broader neighborhood challenges.
