1349 Clayton St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 6-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building at 1349 Clayton Street, owned by Kane/Peizer Living Trust and constructed in 1927, has undergone several significant improvements and faced recurring fire safety challenges over the years. Most recently, in July 2024, the building is undergoing fire alarm system modifications to meet San Francisco Fire Code requirements for sleeping areas, with associated electrical work continuing into late 2024.

The property has experienced multiple fire alarm system issues, with complaints recorded in 2019, 2022 (twice), 2023, and 2024, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit." A notable building violation was filed in 2002 regarding window replacements without proper permits, though this was abated by 2007. The building has seen substantial window improvements, with multiple permits between 2004 and 2010 showing replacement of steel windows with new vinyl windows, and the installation of a comprehensive fire alarm system in 2010 including multiple safety features. The property has experienced various maintenance issues recently, including water leak incidents in December 2024 (with multiple 311 calls), and the most recent routine housing inspection in March 2023 remains marked as active.

Historical maintenance work includes a complete reroofing of the garage in 2012. The building has documented some historical fire incidents, including a cooking fire (contained) and unintentional alarm activation, though no civilian injuries were reported in these events. Recent 311 calls between late 2024 to early 2025 show various street and sidewalk maintenance issues near the property, including reports of abandoned furniture, an appliance, and pavement defects, all of which have since been resolved.
