Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 43-45 Clayton Street in Park North, built in 1925, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. The property, owned by Lindsey Richard A & Marta H, consists of two units and has maintained regular upkeep through various authorized renovations. Recent improvements include a comprehensive bathroom remodel completed in July 2023, featuring new plumbing fixtures, electrical work, and exhaust fans, along with a kitchen renovation in 2021 that included electrical rewiring and new fixtures. The building has seen substantial electrical infrastructure upgrades in 2021, including the replacement and relocation of sub panels with 100-amp rated panels and the installation of ground rods.

The property has experienced relatively few serious issues, though there was one notable incident in April 2021 when unpermitted construction work was reported, related to a kitchen remodel with partially completed walls and ceilings. This violation was abated by May 2021. More recently, there have been two water-related incidents in 2024: a sewage discharge from a catch basin in August and a sidewalk defect reported in October, though these are external to the building itself. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to essential systems, including a water heater replacement attempt in March 2023 (permit expired) and multiple window replacements in 2019 and 2017. Historical records from the 1990s show earlier maintenance work, including bathrooms repairs and reroofing, demonstrating ongoing property upkeep.

Risk rating

How 43-45 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.
