AI summary

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 772-774 Clayton Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by the Post/leff Family Trust, was built in 1900 and has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the past decade. The most recent major work includes plumbing updates in 2024 for garage improvements and washing machine installation, along with electrical work for garage lighting. Substantial basement excavation projects were undertaken in 2020 and 2021, totaling over 100 cubic yards of soil removal and structural support improvements, though one permit revision encountered a work-related complaint in June 2020 regarding unauthorized construction. Earlier improvements include comprehensive bathroom, kitchen, and window renovations between 2012-2019, plus necessary repairs like chimney removal and siding replacement. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades to support modern amenities.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved construction-related matters, with several 311 calls regarding parking enforcement near the site in 2023-2024. While there was one noise complaint in 2022, this appears to be an isolated incident related to construction. The building has maintained good overall compliance with permit requirements, though there was one building complaint in 2020 regarding construction work that required investigation. The property features standard residential improvements, including a garage area that has received particular attention during recent renovations, and the infrastructure upgrades suggest ongoing efforts to maintain and modernize the historic building while preserving its original character.

Risk rating

How 772-774 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.
