Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 2903-2905 Clay Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Julia Hardin Hansen Living Trust, has a century-long history dating back to 1900, characterized by several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements. Most recently, in 2023, there were multiple incidents requiring attention, including construction equipment blocking the sidewalk (with subsequent citation for operating without a permit), graffiti removal, and various street cleaning needs. The property underwent substantial improvements between 2011-2012, including a $15,000 foundation replacement from brick to concrete and main sewer excavation work. Earlier maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure needs: a complete reroofing in 1998, termite damage repairs in 1987, and significant electrical upgrades in 2003 that included installation of a 200-amp underground service. The building has maintained compliance with safety systems, with a fire alarm systems issue reported in December 2021 that was corrected by May 2022. The property's recent maintenance history suggests regular attention to both building and surrounding infrastructure, though there have been some recurring issues with sidewalk and street maintenance in the immediate vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for pavement defects and sidewalk blockages.

Risk rating

How 2903-2905 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, 241 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.

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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.7%
Moderate concern 12.3%
Severe concern 5.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
