Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 20-22 Clayton Street in Park North, owned by the Sylvia P Morafka 2019 Trust, was constructed in 1925 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, with the most notable being a voluntary seismic retrofit completed in 2020 at a cost of $50,000, demonstrating commitment to structural safety. This was accompanied by the replacement of backflow prevention devices and two boilers in the same year, indicating a period of substantial infrastructure upgrades. Previous maintenance work included addressing water damage and roof issues in 2017 involving rotted trim pieces and roof repairs costing $8,000.

The building has undergone various internal renovations including a second-floor bathroom remodel in 2011 (with associated electrical work) and bathroom updates in 2004 (including electrical upgrades and plumbing work). Historical records show earlier improvements such as a cancelled seismic upgrade in 1998 and reroofing in 1997. The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in recent years, with several documented cases of driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024, resulting in citations being issued. Additionally, there were some sanitation service issues noted, including a missed trash collection in November 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with significant investments in both structural safety and basic infrastructure systems in recent years, while the parking and sanitation issues appear to be external challenges faced by the property rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 20-22 Clayton 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.
