2415-2419 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The four-unit, four-story mixed-use building at 2415-2419 Clement Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, built in 1900, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Most notably, in mid-2024, serious health and safety concerns were reported including water intrusion, fire safety issues, lack of hot water, hoarding conditions, pest infestation, and fire hazards with constant cigarette smoking in one unit. The building, owned by Antonio & Rita Castellucci, operates with a commercial component housing Samila Thai Restaurant.

Historical records show a pattern of deferred maintenance and compliance issues, with violations documented in 2019 regarding weatherproofing and lead hazards, and multiple violations from 2003 documenting security and fire escape concerns. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including a house trap replacement in 2018 and water heater installation in 2015, but still shows recurring problems with basic systems. A recent fire alarm system issue in early 2024 was corrected, but this followed a pattern of alarm system-related concerns dating back to 2018.

The building’s exterior maintenance has been a persistent issue, with peeling paint documented in 2019 and ongoing concerns about weatherproofing. The property has also generated numerous complaints about exterior conditions, including multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris, with the most recent being in October 2024. Regular building permits and sidewalk-related permits show some level of ongoing maintenance activity, but the frequency and nature of building violations and complaints suggest chronic maintenance challenges.
