274-276 Clara St, San Francisco, CA 94107

The two-story multi-family residential building at 274-276 Clara Street, owned by Toby S Levy Tr, was constructed in 1906 and contains three units. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including a complete reroofing in 2008 ($6,000), rear deck repairs in 2003, and a series of major renovations in 1990 that included the installation of fire sprinklers throughout, legalizing three units on three floors, and foundation replacement work. The property has faced multiple fire safety concerns in recent years, with violations noted in 2024 regarding standpipe systems and in 2022 for various fire code violations, though most were subsequently abated.

A 2021 fire complaint was found to have no merit, and there was one recorded water or steam leak incident with no civilian injuries. The building has a history of health and safety inspections, including a routine safety inspection in 2008 and a more comprehensive health and safety inspection in 2011 that identified several violations requiring attention. These included exterior deck repairs, fire extinguisher maintenance, and security lock upgrades, all of which were eventually abated in 2012.

More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement and street cleaning issues in the immediate vicinity, with several citations issued for illegal parking and two garbage/debris cleanup requests in January 2025. Additionally, there was an investigation into alleged unauthorized short-term rental use at the property that was marked as closed - abated. The building's overall maintenance history shows regular upkeep and prompt addressing of violations when they occur, though the recurring nature of some fire safety issues is notable.
