15-17 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The property at 15-17 Clement Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Ruth Jean Levy and dating back to 1900. The two-story structure has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent major work being the installation of an ADA-compliant automatic door opener in 2022 and reroofing completed in 2021 at a cost of $15,740. In 2017, substantial renovations were carried out including kitchen remodeling, electrical rewiring, and deck repair work totaling $30,000, during which the building also experienced address modifications from 15 to 17 Clement Street.

The electrical system received significant attention in 2017 with the removal of knob-and-tube wiring and installation of a new sub-panel. The building has experienced recurring issues with the adjacent public space, particularly notable in recent months, with multiple 311 calls regarding overflowing city garbage cans in 2023-2024, and several reports of human/animal waste on the street in early 2024. A sewer odor issue was reported in September 2024, though this was promptly addressed.

Historical records show some fire safety concerns in 2006-2010, including issues with exit doors, fire escape obstruction, and exit signs, though all these violations were eventually corrected. The property has undergone regular maintenance over the years, with documented roofing work in 1996, 1998, and 2021, as well as earlier electrical and plumbing improvements. While the building's major systems have received periodic attention, recent concerns have primarily centered around external public space maintenance rather than internal building conditions.
