Initial analysis

The property at 994 Clayton Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1912, currently owned by Lois H Wong Tr. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime, with the most recent major work being a street space permit issued in July 2016. Prior to that, a substantial reroofing project was completed in 2009 at a cost of $16,700. The building had notable safety and maintenance issues documented during an August 2006 routine apartment house inspection, which resulted in multiple violations including problems with fire escape ladders, security requirements, and handrails/guardrails. However, all these violations were abated by November 2006. Earlier renovation work was attempted in 1987 with expired permits for kitchen and bath remodeling in apartment #3 and kitchen remodeling, while several other permits from 1981-1982 are on record with completed status.

The property has been subject to various maintenance and enforcement issues over recent years, though none appear to directly relate to the building's structural or safety conditions. Recent 311 calls from 2020-2024 have primarily concerned exterior maintenance matters, including tree issues, sidewalk problems, and posting violations. The most recent building-related 311 call was regarding a missing side sewer vent cover in August 2021, which was resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing and infrastructure, with the 2006 violations indicating a period where multiple safety concerns needed to be addressed, all of which were promptly corrected.

Risk rating

How 994 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
