1724 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 1724 Clement St is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, built in 1991 and currently owned by the Chen 2000 Revocable Trust. The building's history shows several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly during the early 2000s. In January 2003, multiple violations were documented including fire safety concerns such as inadequate smoke detectors, improper maintenance of smoke enclosure doors, and other fire-related issues, as well as problems with ceiling damage, lighting, and gas utility shutoff tools.

These violations, while initially marked as active, were officially abated by March 2003. A follow-up complaint in January 2008 reported ceiling leaks in multiple areas during rain, which was addressed with repairs to unit #1's rear stair and handrails, along with water damage remediation, costing approximately $1,800; however, an earlier reroofing permit from February 2008 had expired. The building underwent significant changes in 1989-1990, transitioning from a single-family dwelling to its current configuration, with the demolition of the previous structure and construction of the new building costing $250,000.

Several permits from 2008 show basic maintenance work, though one for reroofing from February 2008 shows as expired. In recent years (2023-2024), there have been multiple reports regarding street cleaning and parking issues in the vicinity, including illegal parking, garbage and debris complaints, and abandoned vehicles, though these are primarily external to the building itself and relate to public right-of-way management rather than building maintenance or tenant concerns. The most recent building-related issues were primarily documented through 311 calls, focusing on exterior maintenance rather than interior habitability concerns. The property has a relatively clean record of recent violations or complaints, with most historical issues having been resolved through various permits and repairs.
