Initial analysis

The 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1935 Clay Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1949 and currently owned by Clay Street Apartments LLC, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most recently, Unit 301 received a partial kitchen remodel in May 2024, following similar upgrades in Units 204 (2023), 303 (2022), and 103 (2021), all of which included bathroom updates, electrical improvements, and window replacements. The building successfully completed its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with safety requirements. In 2021, the entire building underwent a fire alarm system upgrade to meet current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, though the building has experienced recurring fire-related complaints and violations over the years, particularly concerning alarm systems and fire escapes.

The property has maintained regular maintenance schedules, evidenced by a 2021 reroofing project and the replacement of the hydronic boiler in 2019. Historical records show a cluster of heating and fire safety violations in 2000-2004, all of which were subsequently abated, and a fire escape issue was reported in 2016. The building has an active address history with multiple 311 calls primarily related to garbage and debris on the property, most recently in 2024. While there have been several fire-related complaints since 2010, including issues with alarm systems and extinguishers, these were generally addressed through corrective actions. The property was classified as Tier 3 in the Soft Story program, and work has been completed with a CFC issued, indicating that seismic mitigation requirements have been fulfilled.

Risk rating

How 1935 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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 684 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 47.0%
Moderate concern 33.4%
Severe concern 19.6%
