Initial analysis

The property at 1201-1203 Clayton Street is a three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Mary Louise Schleicher Revo trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2015 (with an initially withdrawn permit for $0 issued in 2016), a reroofing project in 1990, and various interior improvements in the mid-1990s. More recent concerns have centered around heating issues, with multiple complaints filed in early 2024 citing inadequate heat and maintenance problems, particularly affecting a three-bedroom apartment with only one heating vent that struggles to meet the minimum required temperature. The building has also been subject to several violations requiring attention to safety systems, including active violations from 2019 related to inadequate lighting, smoke detector requirements, and gas meter instructions that remain unresolved as of late 2024.

The property's maintenance history shows some recurring infrastructure challenges, including a sewage discharge issue reported in January 2025, and previously documented problems such as rodent and ant infestations between 2008-2010. Historical records indicate various exterior maintenance work was performed in the 1980s and 1990s, including wall modifications between units and window repairs. The building has experienced three instances of fire safety violation citations, all of which were corrected upon inspection. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 suggest ongoing external maintenance needs, including graffiti removal and debris cleanup, though these are not directly related to the building's internal conditions. The soft-story retrofit work has been completed and received certification, placing the building in compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 1201-1203 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.
