Initial analysis

This three-unit multi-family residential building at 111-115 Clayton St in Park North, owned by Nicole Michelle Foster, has a documented history spanning over three decades, with significant recent concerns. The building, which consists of three stories and was constructed in 1911, underwent several major improvements over the years, including window replacements in 2017, egress stair replacements in 2014, and various maintenance work in 1999-2000, such as reroofing and vinyl siding installation. However, the most pressing current issue is an active building complaint filed in August 2023, alleging unauthorized construction work, including electrical and plumbing modifications, furnace installation, and structural modifications, performed by unlicensed contractors with reported concerns about inadequate framing and safety. This complaint remains unresolved as of this report's creation.

The property has experienced several routine housing inspections in 2000-2001, which did not reveal any ongoing issues. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property and its vicinity since 2015, these primarily relate to parking issues, street maintenance, and noise complaints, rather than building-specific concerns. Recent exterior observations in 2023 have generated a noise report and documented parking enforcement issues, though these are more reflective of neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific problems. The historical permit record shows regular maintenance and upgrades to the building's systems and appearance, though the recent unauthorized work raises significant concerns about current building conditions and compliance with safety standards.

Risk rating

How 111-115 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.
