716-718 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 716-718 Clayton Street in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, built in 1906, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2013, there were multiple violations regarding heating system failures, interior surface problems including mold and mildew, and concerns about lead paint hazards during renovation work. These violations, which demonstrated inadequate heating and maintenance of interior surfaces, were eventually addressed by October 2013.

Earlier issues from 2002-2004 involved an unpermitted basement unit that prompted legal proceedings, though there were subsequent attempts to rectify the situation in 2004 by converting the unauthorized space to storage. The building's maintenance history includes several permitted improvements, including horizontal additions in 1991 and various roof and stair repairs in 1990, though some permits from that period appear to have expired. Recent activity around the property primarily involves exterior maintenance and street cleanliness concerns, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding garbage, debris, and graffiti on or near the property.

The most recent building permits on record are from 2013 for street space and sidewalk work, totaling $2.00. While the building has undergone various repairs and improvements over the years, the pattern of maintenance issues, particularly relating to heating systems and interior surfaces, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The property has also experienced periodic issues with exterior cleanliness and neighborhood maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years reporting various urban maintenance concerns.
