1053-1055 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1053-1055 Clayton Street, constructed in 1948, has undergone significant changes over the past two decades, with the most notable event being a substantial fire incident in August 2015 that caused major structural damage to all floors. Following this fire, between September 2015 and 2016, the building underwent extensive restoration work valued at $250,000, including repairs to framing, siding, kitchens, and bathrooms, along with the installation of new electrical systems and plumbing upgrades.

Significant improvement works continued through 2021, when a new sewer house trap was installed, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure maintenance. The building has also seen several major system upgrades, including complete reroofing projects in 2014 (costing $13,500) and comprehensive unit improvements in 2016 that included kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, plus electrical panel upgrades and new safety features like smoke detectors. Historic records show the building faced several violations in 2001 related to fire safety and security requirements, including issues with fire extinguishers, glazing on doors, and stair repairs, though these were all resolved by 2014.

More recent complaint records indicate routine maintenance and service issues, including sewer backups in late 2021 and some exterior maintenance matters. The property has experienced multiple minor service-related incidents since 2020, including parking enforcement calls and sidewalk repairs, which appear to be more related to general neighborhood issues than direct building concerns. The most recent major structural modification was completed in 2016-2017, following the fire restoration, and included comprehensive system upgrades across both units, suggesting the building's core systems have been significantly improved compared to their pre-fire condition.
