108 Clipper St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 108 Clipper Street in Noe Valley, owned by Don Sung/tsai-chen Hsieh Lv, was constructed in 1965 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. In recent years, the building has seen notable updates including the installation of a Tesla wall charger in 2018 and a house trap replacement with 4-inch cast pipe in 2012.

Of particular concern was a gas leak incident recorded in the Fire Incidents section, though no civilian injuries were reported. The building has a history of addressing structural and safety issues, with records showing dry rot repair in 2001 and the addition of moment steel frames at the garage level the same year, along with exterior maintenance such as stucco repair and painting in 1997, and reroofing in 1991. The property has undergone several routine housing inspections, revealing multiple fire safety-related violations that were subsequently abated.

Notable violations included issues with fire extinguisher maintenance, egress obstructions, and storage concerns in 2001, 2007, and 2012. The building's recent history (2024) shows some ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 calls relating to graffiti, property damage, and street cleaning issues near the building, though these are primarily external to the building itself. A currently open planning record indicates a concern regarding an illegally paved parking space, while the building's systems have received periodic attention, including seismic upgrades (moment steel frames) and various permit-based improvements over the years.
