Initial analysis

The 12-unit apartment building at 1360 Clay Street in Nob Hill, built in 1925, has undergone significant improvements over recent years, with substantial renovations completed in multiple units between 2018 and 2023. Most recently, in October 2023, Units 6 and 11 received comprehensive upgrades including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical panel upgrades, and the installation of new appliances and fixtures, at a combined cost of $125,000. The building has also seen important safety and infrastructure improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 to comply with fire code requirements, and a 15-foot underground sewer main piping line repair in March 2023. The property completed its soft-story improvements, achieving Compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

The building has experienced various maintenance and regulatory issues over its history, though most have been promptly addressed. Notable historical violations from 2002 included security and maintenance concerns such as a problematic front door locking device, fire escape maintenance needs, and expired fire extinguishers, all of which were abated within weeks. More recent issues include a 2012 complaint about unauthorized kitchen and bathroom work, and a 2011 complaint regarding heating system problems that was resolved within weeks. There have been three documented fire-related incidents, all of which involved system malfunctions or smoke removal with no civilian injuries reported. The property's numerous building permits and consistent renovations suggest active management and maintenance, with particular attention paid to modernizing apartments and maintaining safety systems. Recent inspections and repairs indicate ongoing commitment to building safety and resident comfort, though there was one building complaint in March 2023 regarding excavation work that prompted inspections by both building and plumbing authorities.

Risk rating

How 1360 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.
