316 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 316 Clement Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1911 in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, containing two residential units and ground-level commercial space. The building, currently owned by 316 Clement St LLC, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, including a window replacement project in 2015 that involved installing energy-efficient windows, and essential plumbing work in 2011 involving replacement of the house trap and sewer system. The property has a documented history of some maintenance and accessibility upgrades, such as a reroofing project in 1993, restaurant signage installation in 1984, and various renovations to improve accessibility in 2009 including bathroom upgrades and the installation of an automatic door closer.

Recent years have seen several compliance issues and safety concerns that merit attention. Notably, there have been two building complaints filed in 2022 regarding unauthorized work: one for an unpermitted awning installation and another regarding a projecting sign not in compliance with planning regulations. Additionally, in October 2021, there was a complaint suggesting possible unauthorized residential rental activity in the upper story above the restaurant, with concerns about the building's historical "legal commercial use" status.

The property has also experienced some maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding overflowing city garbage cans and environmental health concerns. A civil incident involving a natural gas leak was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. While many historical permits show regular maintenance and improvements to the building, the more recent compliance issues and safety concerns warrant careful observation of ongoing maintenance and regulatory adherence at this location.
