1609 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The property at 1609 Clement Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, constructed in 1915 and located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. The building's recent history shows significant improvements in accessibility, with completed work in 2022 to install power door operators and replace door hardware to comply with disability access requirements, at a cost of $3,000.

There was an earlier mention of a vacant commercial storefront in 2018, though this complaint is now inactive. The property has experienced several maintenance and public safety issues in recent years, with the most notable being a sewer backup incident that occurred in October 2021, which required intervention from the PUC Sewer Operations. Multiple street cleaning issues have been reported between 2018 and 2024, including instances of garbage and debris (most recently in December 2024), abandoned vehicles (in 2018 and 2022), and potentially hazardous materials (medical waste - needles) in 2019.

The sidewalk condition was documented as having defects in May 2022, and there was an environmental health complaint filed in April 2018 that was transferred to the Department of Public Health's Environmental Health division. A street space permit was issued in October 2014, though the specific purpose is not detailed in the available records. While the building has undergone important accessibility improvements, the record indicates ongoing challenges with street maintenance and infrastructure issues in the immediate vicinity, though many of these problems have been resolved through appropriate channels as evidenced by the "Closed Case Resolved" status on numerous complaints.
