2626-2628 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 2626-2628 Clement Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, constructed in 1925 and currently owned by the Chan Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2019-2021, including the conversion of a ground floor guestroom into a full dwelling unit with kitchen, bedrooms, and bathrooms, along with the installation of fire safety systems. In 2020, a steel moment frame was installed at the front of the building, and comprehensive electrical work was completed on the ground floor unit, including the installation of 4 smoke detectors and multiple electrical fixtures.

The building's fire safety features were notably enhanced with the addition of a sprinkler system and monitoring equipment in 2021, demonstrating attention to safety standards. Earlier improvements include substantial renovations to individual units, with the top unit receiving kitchen and bathroom upgrades in 2002, and the second floor undergoing kitchen, bathroom, and laundry area modifications in 2014. The property's street history shows multiple instances of driveway blocking between 2018 and 2021, though these are parking enforcement matters rather than building concerns.

Two reports of abandoned vehicles were recorded in 2016-2017, but these vehicles were gone when authorities arrived. The building's most recent planning record from 2019 indicates work to expand a housekeeping unit's size (taking space from common areas) and removal of an unpermitted roof within an existing lightwell, though this permit is marked as closed. The detailed record of permits and improvements suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of building systems, particularly focusing on modernizing the units and enhancing safety features.
