Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 755-757 Clayton Street in Haight Ashbury, built in 1904 and currently owned by the J Garry Morse Living Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decade. Most notably, in 2016, the building received substantial electrical upgrades, including a complete service replacement with a 200-amp, 4-meter residential service and the installation of a solar panel system comprising 12 roof-mounted PV modules. A reroofing project was completed in 2014, while in 2013, the property addressed dry rot issues on egress stairs following a notice of violation. The most serious incident on record occurred in early 2013 when unauthorized reconstruction of rear decks for all three units was reported, allegedly involving new footings beyond the property line, though this matter was resolved by January 2014 through proper permitting and compliance work valued at $5,000.

The building's recent history shows several maintenance and compliance actions, including three street space permits (2010, 2017) and routine apartment inspections in 2002, 2006, and 2010. A significant infrastructure issue occurred in January 2021 with a sewage backup incident that was promptly resolved. The surrounding area has experienced typical urban maintenance issues, as documented in 311 calls, including reports of loose garbage (2018-2022), a damaged tree (2021), and occasional parking violations. The property has maintained a generally good standing with only one fire alarm system complaint in 2010 that was determined to have no merit. The building's maintenance record suggests active management response to both routine upkeep and infrastructure needs, with particular attention paid to compliance with building codes and addressing resident safety issues.

Risk rating

How 755-757 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
49th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 296 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.5%
Moderate concern 19.5%
Severe concern 21.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
