4345 Clement St, San Francisco, CA 94121

The 4345 Clement Street property is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1972, currently owned by 4345 Clement Street LLC. The building has undergone significant improvements and modifications over the past few years, most notably the addition of an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) on the ground floor in 2019 (completed in early 2020), and a comprehensive voluntary soft-story retrofit completed in 2019-2020. Recent renovations include a major remodel of Unit #3 in 2022 ($45,000), including updates to two bathrooms and a kitchen, as well as various safety improvements such as the installation of a new fire alarm system and sprinkler monitoring in 2020 ($19,110), and a new foam roof installation in 2020 ($39,800).

The building's recent history has been marked by several compliance and safety upgrades, including the legalization of previously unauthorized unit modifications, specifically the conversion of Units 1 and 2 from two-bedroom to three-bedroom apartments, completed between 2018-2019. The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s when multiple fire safety violations and concerns about unauthorized unit conversions were documented, though these issues were resolved by 2004. More recent tenant complaints in 2019-2020 related to unpermitted modifications were addressed through the proper legalization processes.

The building has been regularly maintained, with recent 311 calls primarily related to street cleaning and waste management rather than building-specific issues. Recent health and safety improvements, including the fire alarm system upgrade and roof replacement, suggest ongoing investment in building infrastructure and resident safety. The property is currently active in building records with some open noise-related 311 calls from late 2024, though these appear to be related to external factors rather than building systems.
