AI summary

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3073-3075 Clay Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1900, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2021, the building underwent exterior repairs with the replacement of dryout siding at the rear of the property. Between 2005 and 2008, the property underwent substantial interior renovations, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades (including installation of multiple receptacles, switches, and circuits), and plumbing improvements such as water heater replacement and addition of new bathrooms. The building faced serious maintenance issues in the mid-2000s, with documented problems including roof leaks, kitchen floor damage, rotting windows, and unsafe stairs in 2005, followed by multiple violations in 2006 related to interior surfaces, mold, and lead paint concerns. Recent fire safety inspections in 2022-2023 revealed issues with alarm systems and extinguishers, though these were subsequently corrected. The property has also experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations for blocked driveways recorded between 2022 and 2024. Two separate short-term rental complaints were filed in 2009 and 2013, suggesting unauthorized vacation rental operations at the property, though these complaints were subsequently marked as "Not Active" or "Abated." A 2023 street tree inspection noted some fine branches below a fire escape ladder, though the tree was generally found to be in fair to good condition. Parking enforcement and illegal postings have been recurring issues, with multiple citations and violation notices issued in recent years.

Risk rating

How 3073-3075 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, 183 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.5%
Moderate concern 16.5%
Severe concern 10.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
