Initial analysis

The 10-unit apartment building at 751 Clay Street, owned by Quong Fook Hong Assn, was constructed in 1912 and is a 3-story multi-family residential structure located in the Financial District North neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the years, including a 2020 accessibility upgrade to comply with the Accessible Business Entrance program, and various roofing and exterior wall improvements completed in the late 1980s and early 1990s. A plumbing upgrade in 2012 involved the replacement of a 4" house trap.

Recent history shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to fire safety systems and sewer issues. Multiple fire safety violations have been recorded between 2017 and 2023, including recent violations in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, and recurring issues with fire extinguishers and alarm systems that have generally been corrected upon inspection. The building has experienced persistent sewer system problems in 2024, with multiple 311 calls reporting sewage backup issues from the 4-inch sewer vent, and a significant discharge incident in October 2024.

Risk rating

How 751 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
31th percentile

Out of 145 buildings in this neighborhood, 100 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

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.

Construction type (C)

The building's construction type on file, which affects its maintenance risk profile.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 13.3%
Moderate concern 71.5%
Severe concern 15.2%
