1740 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1740 Clement St, owned by Robert L C&judy K Y Rev Lee, has a documented history of safety and maintenance issues dating back to 2000. The building received multiple violations in April 2000, including concerns about combustible storage, stair repairs, garbage receptacle placement, and the need for smoke detectors in the lobby and stair area. Other violations from the same period concerned the need for a gas utility shutoff tool and various fire safety requirements.

These violations were all addressed and officially abated by August 21, 2000. In May 2009, during a routine inspection, additional issues were identified regarding floor coverings, the smoke enclosure door closer, and subgrade garbage receptacles, though all these violations were subsequently resolved by June 2009. The most recent significant resident complaint was filed in February 2018 (and last observed in February 2018) regarding Unit 4, citing concerns about mold, broken appliances, holes near windows, faulty heating, and worn windowsills. The building has had numerous street cleanliness issues documented through 311 calls between 2020 and 2024, primarily related to loose garbage, though these external cleanliness matters were not directly related to building habitability.

There were also two fire-related incidents recorded - one in 2010 that was corrected the same day and another in 2009 regarding alarm systems that was determined to have no merit. The building's most recent documented activity includes general cleaning complaints in early 2024, which were investigated but found no existing problems. While the building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, the records show that violations from routine inspections have typically been addressed and resolved within a reasonable timeframe. However, the presence of recurring issues such as mold and faulty heating systems noted in the 2018 complaint may suggest some ongoing maintenance challenges.
