Initial analysis

The property at 995-997 Clayton Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. Built in 1948 and currently owned by the Daubner Family Trust, the building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades. The most recent major work includes the removal and replacement of a gas water heater in July 2021 and a tenant buyout recorded on September 14, 2021, with an amount of $32,126 affecting 2 tenants. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including the installation of energy-efficient front windows in 2015 (aluminum wood clad double-pane with a U-factor of 0.32) and structural improvements such as the rear retaining wall replacement in 2017 ($18,000) and repairs to a rotting stair in the light well in 2008.

Of particular note is a water damage incident reported in February 2007, where leakage from the garage level caused structural concerns and affected parking spaces. More recent issues appear to be primarily related to the surrounding infrastructure, with multiple reports between 2021 and 2024 regarding tree maintenance, sidewalk defects, and parking violations. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to major systems and structural elements, though there are ongoing concerns regarding tree maintenance and parking enforcement in the immediate vicinity. The most recent significant exterior maintenance includes work on trees (damaged tree report from October 2023, open status) and a collapsed sidewalk issue resolved in August 2021.

Risk rating

How 995-997 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.
