Initial analysis

The 3755 Clay Street property is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in the Presidio Heights neighborhood. Built in 1908, this flats and duplex style structure contains three units and is currently held under a Marital Trust. The building has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, most notably a significant $25,000 reroofing project of the flat roof completed in July 2020, which represents the most recent major building system upgrade. Earlier improvements include a porch renovation, rear door replacement, and window restoration work completed in 1998, while an earlier attempt at similar improvements in 1997 unfortunately resulted in expired permit status.

The property's recent history shows minimal issues impacting resident experience, with no recorded complaints or safety violations in the available data. The building has had two temporary moving-related parking sign requests in the past decade - one in 2018 for a 120-foot zone (which was ultimately reduced from the original request) and another in 2013 for a 50-foot zone, both of which were successfully resolved through the SFMTA process. These temporary permit requests appear to be routine and not indicative of any persistent issues with the building.

Risk rating

How 3755 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
88th percentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 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.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.9%
Moderate concern 16.3%
Severe concern 3.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
