Initial analysis

2935 Clay Street is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood. Built in 1963 and currently owned by Wdg Family LP, the apartment building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with particular attention to addressing siding issues. The most recent major siding project occurred in 2019, costing $25,000 and involving the installation of James Hardie siding on the building's sides, while earlier work in 2012 addressed dry rot in approximately 700 square feet of siding. The building has a documented history of siding-related maintenance dating back to 1997, indicating an ongoing need to address this particular building element.

In 2014, the building underwent a routine safety inspection that identified several issues requiring attention, including the need for 135-degree viewers on entry doors and repairs to the fireproofing of the garage ceiling. These violations were promptly addressed and abated within approximately one month. The property has maintained an active record of building permits for various improvements, including reroofing work in 2012 and multiple street space permits, with the most recent street-related permit issued in 2019. Recent 311 calls related to the property primarily concern external matters such as parking violations, sidewalk issues, and noise complaints, rather than building safety or maintenance concerns. Two fire-related incidents were recorded, though neither involved injuries or actual fires, being categorized instead as smoke detector activations.

Risk rating

How 2935 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
44th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 539 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.9%
Moderate concern 28.0%
Severe concern 15.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
