2526 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 2526 Clement St is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1906, containing 4 residential units above ground-floor commercial space, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood and owned by Nicholas E. Tedeschi. The building's most significant and current concern involves an active violation from 2000 regarding unauthorized conversion from two flats over commercial space to four apartments, which has been flagged for lacking proper fire safety features.

This violation was compounded by multiple health and safety issues in early 2000, including inadequate heating, lead paint hazards, and problems with food preparation equipment, though these were officially abated by March 29, 2000. The building underwent several permitted improvements in 2000, including kitchen remodeling, roofing work, and removal of four illegal units, though the status of these permits is now expired. Earlier modifications included structure extension work in 1984 and various repairs, including stucco work in 2001.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of exterior maintenance and cleanup, with multiple 311 calls recorded between 2020 and 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and abandoned items on the property or sidewalk. This pattern of cleanup requests suggests ongoing exterior maintenance challenges, though these issues are generally considered separate from the building's internal habitability concerns. Planning records show a closed appeal relating to the property, though no specific details about the nature of the appeal are provided. The building's historical record shows a pattern of unauthorized modifications and subsequent retroactive corrections, with the most pressing current concern being the long-standing violation regarding unauthorized unit conversions and associated safety concerns.
