744-746 Clementina St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 744-746 Clementina Street, owned by Kia Ventures LLC, was constructed in 1909 and has undergone several significant safety and modernization improvements over the past decade. Most notably, a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade was completed in 2021 at a cost of $15,000 to comply with California state requirements, though this work was noted not to fully meet current building fire codes or NFPA 72 standards.

The building successfully completed a required soft-story retrofit in 2016, enhancing seismic safety. Significant renovations occurred in 2011-2012, including window replacements, kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units, and plumbing upgrades. The building experienced several critical issues in the late 2000s, including gas and water shutoffs and multiple building code violations related to fire safety, security, and egress.

However, all these violations were officially abated by 2016. Recent inspections and maintenance work have focused on fire safety systems, with multiple fire alarm-related complaints and violations documented between 2006-2015, though recent fire department responses have noted no civilian injuries related to fire incidents. The property has shown recent maintenance issues based on 311 calls in late 2024, including reports of sewage discharge and multiple instances of garbage and debris, which warrant monitoring.
