Initial analysis

3110 Clay Street is a three-story, eight-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1902 and currently owned by Sfclay Properties LLC. The property has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past five years, most notably the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system in 2019 ($20,000) and an upgraded fire alarm system ($17,800) to meet current San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit and received certification as a Tier 3 building, demonstrating compliance with important structural safety standards. Recent electrical upgrades have included rewiring work in three bedrooms (completed October 2023) and the installation of new electrical systems (completed May 2024) including outlets, lights, and a new sub-panel.

The property has experienced several maintenance and pest control issues in recent years, including reports of a flea infestation in August 2022 that lasted over a year, which was documented through two separate complaints. In September 2022, there was a complaint regarding complications with city services registration for Unit 8, and in May 2024, a lead concerns complaint was filed but quickly abated within two days. Historical records show a series of routine inspections between 1999-2014, with some violations noted in December 2004 regarding staircase repairs and fire system requirements, though these were resolved by May 2005.

Risk rating

How 3110 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.
