520 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 520 Clayton Street property is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by the Ted Kurrell Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial being a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit completed in 2016 at a cost of $70,000, bringing the building into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. More recently, in 2021, the property received a new roof through a $15,500 re-roofing project.

The building experienced a serious cluster of violations in late 2002 through 2004, which were all resolved by April 2004. These violations primarily related to fire safety, security, and sanitation issues, including problems with garbage room ventilation, combustible storage, and the need for proper security locks and ventilation systems - all of which have been addressed. The property has had regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2010, 2017, and most recently in 2021.

Two fire alarm incidents were recorded, both being false alarms with no civilian injuries reported. The building has experienced some maintenance and infrastructure issues, as evidenced by recent complaints in 2024 regarding a missing side sewer vent cover and tree root damage to the sidewalk, though specific building safety concerns have not been reported. The surrounding area has generated various 311 calls primarily related to sidewalk and street maintenance, including reports of debris, graffiti, and waste, which are typical for urban environments. While these exterior issues reflect neighborhood conditions, they do not directly impact the building's internal systems or safety measures.
