1345-1347 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1345-1347 Clement Street, built in 1927, has undergone significant modifications and faced several challenges in recent years. Most notably, there are active concerns about a unit being rented as a two-bedroom with inadequate windows and egress, first reported in August 2024.

The building is currently classified as Non-Compliant with the Soft Story program requirements, with an active complaint filed in November 2022 regarding failure to file required permits. Historical records show multiple fire safety system updates, including a substantial $32,000 fire alarm system replacement in 2020 and recurring fire system maintenance violations, with the most recent being corrected in October 2023. The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, including heating problems (2022), unauthorized construction work (2021), and concerns about plumbing work being performed without proper permits (2020).

Multiple unit renovations have been completed since 2016, including the controversial addition of three new ADUs on the first floor, while several significant building systems have been upgraded, such as a new boiler installation (2019) and multiple apartment remodels (2012-2021). The building has also faced historical violations that were abated by 2003, including issues with window hardware, smoke detection, lighting, and fire escapes, though these appear to have been resolved. Recent maintenance requests primarily relate to parking issues and waste management rather than building safety concerns, suggesting that while the property has had significant past issues, recent violations are more focused on routine maintenance and building code compliance matters.
