Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1100 Clay Street in the Nob Hill neighborhood, owned by Ke Holdings, LLC, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work in 2017 (at a cost of $60,000) as a Tier 3 building, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Recent improvements include a complete laundry room remodel in 2022 (costing $6,000), which included new equipment as well as electrical and plumbing upgrades. The building has a history of diligent maintenance, with prior work including roof replacement in 2016 ($10,000), exterior siding repairs, and various unit remodels. Several building violations were recorded in 2000 related to fire safety and electrical systems, though these were promptly addressed and abated by August 2000, and there was a routine inspection in 2016 that noted various items requiring attention, including water heater issues and fire safety requirements, which were subsequently resolved.

The property has experienced a few maintenance challenges over the years, including issues with broken windows in 2019-2020, though these were eventually addressed. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external matters such as sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal, which are typical for urban properties. The building's permit history indicates regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with the most recent significant work being the laundry room renovation in 2022. The addition of an ADU at the basement level was filed in 2018, though the status of this project is not clearly indicated in the recent records. The property has generally maintained compliance with housing codes, with past violations being addressed promptly through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 1100 Clay St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
44th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 630 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 39.0%
Moderate concern 38.5%
Severe concern 22.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
