Initial analysis

The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1452-1466 Clay Street in Nob Hill, owned by Mar Nancy, has undergone some significant maintenance and faced various challenges since its construction in 1908. Most notably, in September 2021, the building underwent important exterior maintenance with the replacement of dry rot siding at the light well of the front building, a $12,800 repair that was successfully completed. A housing inspection complaint was filed in January 2022 regarding resident belongings in common areas, though this case is currently not active.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and waste management, particularly evident from multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2025 regarding loose garbage and debris on public sidewalks. The most recent documented internal building incident was a noise complaint in October 2023, though no direct legal or safety implications were noted. From a safety perspective, the building's fire safety record shows one categorized fire complaint from 2015, which was resolved in 2016, and two fire incidents: one involving an outside rubbish fire and another noting a person in distress, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. While these incidents do not indicate any persistent safety concerns, they are worth noting in the building's history.

Risk rating

How 1452-1466 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
