2540 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2540 Clement Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by the Shirley Ng Trust and constructed in 1969, has undergone significant fire safety system upgrades as of November 2023. This recent work, completed at a cost of $44,200, included the installation of an addressable fire alarm unit, wireless communicator, smoke detectors, manual pull stations, horn strobes, and low-frequency horns in residential sleeping areas to comply with current fire code requirements.

This follows a history of fire safety-related violations from 2006-2007, when multiple citations were issued regarding fire proofing, alarm systems, combustible storage, sprinkler requirements, smoke enclosure doors, and fire escape maintenance, all of which were subsequently abated. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues and inspections, including a 2006 complaint about an outdated fire alarm system and ceiling leaks, and a 2007 complaint regarding various interior maintenance issues.

All these historical violations and complaints, including those related to plumbing and electrical systems, were resolved by January 2007. Routine inspections have been conducted regularly, with the most recent significant fire safety upgrade indicating improved compliance with current safety standards. The property has also generated several 311 calls in recent years, primarily regarding parking violations and street cleaning needs, though these are external to the building's structural and safety systems.
