Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2946-2948 Clement Street, located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924 and currently owned by the Kathryn Gong Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past three decades, including a horizontal addition completed in 1990, reroofing projects in 1990 and 2006, window replacements in 2016 (six windows not visible from the street with energy-efficient vinyl frames), and more recently, the installation of cement board or vinyl siding on the east wall in 2022. Notably, the property underwent sewer repair/replacement work in July 2022, indicating attention to infrastructure maintenance.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with permits for significant exterior work and window improvements suggesting active property management. The records also show several instances of parking-related issues near the property between 2019 and 2023, with multiple cases of driveway blocking and abandoned vehicles, though these were typically resolved by city enforcement agencies. A water leak involving a fire hydrant was reported and resolved in March 2022, and there was one general cleaning incident in 2019 with no issues found. The most recent activity related to the property includes a sign repair request in November 2023. Overall, the building's permit history reflects regular maintenance and upgrades, with no recorded safety violations or major resident complaints in the available data.

Risk rating

How 2946-2948 Clement 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

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 450 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.9%
Moderate concern 11.4%
Severe concern 2.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
