Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2822 Clay Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Martha Meuche Sullivan Trust, was constructed in 1900 and contains four apartment units. The property's documented maintenance history includes several infrastructure updates, with the most recent being a water heater replacement in May 2009, though this permit has since expired. In 2010, two street space permits were issued related to scaffolding, each with a minimal indicated cost of $1. The building has undergone two routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services - one in 2013 and another in 2000, with the 2000 inspection being resolved on the same day.

The property experienced minimal building-specific issues, with most documented incidents relating to public infrastructure and street maintenance. Between 2009 and 2021, there were several municipal service calls in the vicinity of the building, including street lighting repairs (both burnt out and dim lights), a missed mechanical street sweeping route, one case of driveway blocking that required police attention, and an abandoned vehicle report. The most recent street-related incidents occurred in late 2021, involving a burnt-out streetlight that was subsequently repaired and a missed street sweeping service due to mechanical issues. A pavement defect was reported in April 2009, but no further details were provided on this issue.

Risk rating

How 2822 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, 424 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.5%
Moderate concern 16.2%
Severe concern 10.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
