856 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 856 Clayton Street, owned by Susan G Margolis Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1900 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2009-2012, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel ($71,700), multiple sliding door replacements, bathroom renovations, and electrical upgrades. In 2009-2010, the building faced several maintenance challenges, particularly with water-related issues including drainage problems that resulted in a building violation, though these were abated by October 2009.

The property has experienced some structural and maintenance issues over its history, including dry rot repairs in 2009, wood replacement work in 2001 due to fungal damage, and a reroofing project in 1992. Recent activity in and around the building has primarily involved exterior and infrastructure maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 related to sidewalk issues, parking violations, and debris concerns. Notably, there was a carbon monoxide incident recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported.

The most recent significant interior work appears to be the 2012 bathroom remodel on the third floor, which included plumbing and electrical updates. The property underwent a tenant buyout in March 2016, with two tenants receiving $20,000, though this appears to be related to the adjacent property at 852 Clayton Street based on the address discrepancy. The building's maintenance history suggests regular updates and repairs are performed, with most issues (such as the 2009 violations) being addressed promptly.
