Initial analysis

The 10-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 58 Clayton Street, owned by the Woo Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges since its construction in 1925. Most notably, in late 2023, the building completed substantial upgrades to its fire alarm system to comply with current safety standards, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an updated fire panel system, with associated costs exceeding $43,000. The building has also had recent maintenance work, including a reroofing project initiated in August 2023 costing over $20,000, and the installation of new water heaters in January 2017.

The property experienced a cluster of serious maintenance and safety issues in 2016-2017, including rodent infestations, broken windows, plumbing problems, and multiple interior violations that were formally abated by June 2017. These violations involved various systems and features, including kitchen cabinets, hazardous wiring, appliances, sinks, windows, and plumbing fixtures. There were also complaints about unauthorized remodeling work on the second floor in late 2016. Earlier records show recurring issues with plumbing and interior maintenance, including a documented leak in 2000 and multiple routine inspections. The building's recent history shows improved maintenance practices, with no active violations since 2017, though a 2025 rent board inquiry is currently open. Regular maintenance and system upgrades, particularly the recent fire safety improvements, suggest a proactive approach to building management, though the 2016-2017 violation period indicates there was previously a notable gap in maintenance standards.

Risk rating

How 58 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.

Neighborhood percentile
