839 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story apartment building at 839 Clayton Street, owned by Robin J Bahr, was constructed in 1904 and contains four multi-family residential units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including roof replacement in 1999 (completed), front porch repairs in 2003 (completed), and installation of new siding in 2004 (completed). A notable cluster of violations was recorded in 2002, including issues with stairs, fire safety equipment, security features, and concerns about lead paint, though all were abated by March 31, 2004.

A 2017 tenant complaint reported mold in a shower room and maintenance issues with stairwell lighting, which was noted as "ongoing" at that time. The building's recent history shows consistent maintenance issues, particularly regarding stair safety and lighting. In 2015, there was a fire safety complaint about blocked exits that was promptly corrected the same day. The property has attracted significant recent attention for exterior maintenance, with ten garbage and debris reports filed between September 2024 and January 2025, though most were marked as resolved or not requiring city intervention.

Three separate garbage-related incidents were reported in November 2024 alone, suggesting ongoing challenges with waste management in the immediate vicinity of the building. The building has undergone multiple routine housing inspections, most notably in 2009, which indicated regular oversight by housing authorities. While the property has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, many have been addressed through proper channels, as evidenced by the completion of various building permits and resolution of violations. The most recent violations and complaints generally relate to exterior maintenance and common area upkeep rather than structural or systems issues within the individual units.
