Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 225-229 Clayton Street in Park North, owned by John P Eddy, has undergone several significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1907. Most notably, in 2018-2019, the property underwent substantial upgrades including a $35,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel, comprehensive electrical rewiring including a 200-amp service upgrade, plumbing improvements including kitchen and bathroom water line replacements, and the installation of a gas line for a kitchen stove. The building appears to be well-maintained, having received voluntary seismic upgrading in 1990 with foundation bolting for improved structural safety. An expired reroofing permit from 2001 suggests this work may have been completed, though its status is no longer active.

The building experienced a routine housing inspection in June 2004 that identified several issues requiring attention, including concerns about emergency exits, fire extinguisher servicing, smoke detectors, and wood stair stringer repair. These violations were all abated by July 26, 2004. There have been multiple street space permits issued between 2018-2019, and all recent permit work appears to be properly completed. Although there have been several parking-related incidents near the property between 2018-2023, including multiple instances of driveway blocking, these are external to the building itself. The only recorded fire-related incidents were minor and resulted in no civilian injuries. The building's recent history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of systems, with all identified violations from past inspections having been resolved.

Risk rating

How 225-229 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 542 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.8%
Moderate concern 19.5%
Severe concern 19.7%
