Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1126-1130 Clay Street in Nob Hill, owned by Dare Brenton Robert, was built in 1900 and contains 6 units. The property has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2016, including the installation of vinyl siding, staircase repairs, smoke detector installation, and waste stack relocation, following multiple housing violations issued in March 2016 related to safety and maintenance issues. The building has experienced recurring plumbing problems, particularly in 2011-2012, with multiple complaints about sewage issues affecting both the building and neighboring properties. Historical records show various maintenance activities, including a 1992 reroofing project and a 1987 code compliance upgrade.

Recent history (2019-2023) shows primarily external issues not directly related to building condition, such as parking violations and illegal parking complaints. The property has had routine housing inspections conducted in 1999, 2001, and 2009, with the most recent significant intervention occurring in 2016 when multiple violations were identified and subsequently addressed. While the building has had various maintenance and code compliance issues over the years, many of the most recent problems appear to be primarily related to plumbing systems, with the last known sewer issue documented in 2012. Since then, most documented incidents have been related to exterior concerns rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1126-1130 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
74th percentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 292 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

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 44.7%
Moderate concern 33.5%
Severe concern 21.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
