405 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 405 Clayton Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Moncef Jendoubi, has a complex maintenance and violation history spanning several decades. Built in 1900, the property has undergone various renovation attempts, including a 2004 bathroom remodeling project on the first and second floors.

The building has faced multiple compliance and safety issues, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s, when there were several cancelled permits related to code compliance, kitchen removals, and fire safety improvements. Notably, a significant violation occurred in late 2004 regarding unauthorized demolition of interior finishes and a rear porch, though this was abated by January 2005. Recent concerns include a 2023 complaint about graffiti, multiple sidewalk parking violations, and most notably, an active plumbing issue from late 2021 regarding a planter box obstructing a sewer vent.

The most recent building-related complaint involved unsafe tarp installation on the roof in early 2024, which was resolved within two weeks, and there have been some environmental health inquiries in late 2023. The building's fire safety modifications appear to be incomplete, as historical records show cancelled permits for fire escape installation. While many historical issues have been resolved, the property continues to experience maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly regarding exterior elements and plumbing systems.
