Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2271-2273 Clay Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Hinomaru International Corp, is a two-story structure built in 1954. The property underwent significant renovations between 2009-2010, including a major garage conversion project that transformed the space into living areas with a bedroom, bathroom, and closets, along with kitchen and bathroom upgrades, window replacements, and lighting improvements. This period also saw the installation of new heating systems and a water service replacement, though some plumbing permits from early 2010 expired without completion.

More recent concerns include recurring sewer issues, with back-up incidents reported in August 2023 and July 2020, indicating potential infrastructure maintenance needs. The building's exterior and common areas received attention in 2010-2019, with projects including street space and sidewalk repairs, pavement maintenance, and the addition of temporary moving signs. A notable safety incident occurred in 2023 involving sewer vent issues, which was resolved by field technicians, and there was a 745 Alarm system activation with no fire reported. The property has experienced various maintenance and service requests over the years, including driveway blocking incidents, encampment reports, and construction noise complaints, though these have generally been addressed by the respective city departments.

Risk rating

How 2271-2273 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.
