3215 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The three-story, 12-unit apartment building at 3215 Clement Street in the Outer Richmond underwent significant safety upgrades between 2015 and 2019, including a seismic retrofit completed in 2015 at a cost of $80,000, bringing it into compliance with current building codes as a Tier 3 soft-story retrofit. However, the building has experienced concerning safety issues, most notably a serious carbon monoxide incident in February 2020 when a tenant's heater was shut down by PG&E due to high CO levels, with inadequate management response reported.

The building's maintenance history reveals recurrent fire safety concerns, with multiple violations documented in 2003-2006 related to fire extinguishers, egress obstructions, combustible storage, fire escape maintenance, and fire sprinkler systems - though these issues were eventually abated. Various structural and maintenance work has been performed over the years, including foundation work and repairs to address dry rot in 2006-2007, garage door replacement in 2011, and a sprinkler system issue in 2018 that was promptly corrected. The property's inspection history shows a pattern of addressing safety violations, though some older records from the late 1990s indicate earlier concerns with electrical issues, water damage, and roof problems.

Recent activity around the property has involved typical park-related maintenance issues, including graffiti removal and flooding concerns, though these are not directly related to building conditions. While many historical violations have been resolved, the relatively recent carbon monoxide incident raises ongoing concerns about building systems and management responsiveness. The building's compliance with mandatory seismic retrofitting requirements is a positive note in its more recent history.
