1421-1425 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 2-unit multi-family residential building at 1421-1425 Clement Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond district is a 2-story Flats & Duplex structure built in 1909, currently owned by Howard L H Wong. The building's permit history reveals several significant renovations and improvements, most notably a 2009 electrical service upgrade to 125-amp with 4 meters (cost: $8,000), installation of 60 outlets, 80 lights, and 40 switches throughout the building ($2,000), and exterior stair repairs including replacement of risers, treads, stringers, and guardrails ($2,000).

However, these exterior stair repairs led to building violations in September 2009 when work was completed without the required building permit, resulting in a Notice of Violation that was eventually abated in April 2012. The building has also undergone several attic-related modifications, including work on skylights and the construction of a spiral stair to the attic space in 2012. The property has experienced three fire incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries: two false alarms (one for a malfunctioning alarm system and one classified as a false call) and one natural gas leak incident.

In recent years, there have been multiple 311 calls primarily related to parking enforcement issues, with the most notable being several reports of vehicles blocking driveways and other parking violations between 2018 and 2020. The building has undergone various maintenance and improvement work over the years, including routine housing inspections that have all been resolved, indicating regular oversight of building conditions. Recent exterior maintenance has been documented through DPW Operations for general cleaning and garbage removal in 2020.
