AI summary

The property at 2720-2724 Clement Street is a two-unit, two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1923 in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, currently owned by Chai Hai-chun and May Chean Rev. The building has experienced recurring issues with its commercial storefront, most notably a pattern of vacancy violations between 2018-2019 that resulted in multiple notices of violation related to the Vacant or Abandoned Commercial Storefront Ordinance. These violations, though all marked as not active, required attention from city enforcement and were eventually abated, with one of them (filed in March 2018) leading to a subsequent permit (201804136305) to comply with the violation notice.

Recent inspections in 2023 revealed concerning conditions, including non-transparent windows, deteriorating facade elements, and multiple service requests over the past decade without apparent repair resolution. Historical complaints from 2020 documented serious disrepair issues, including peeling paint and deteriorating woodwork. The building underwent reroofing in December 2021 at a cost of $9,500, representing one of the few recent capital improvements. Prior to 2023, the property had a history of graffiti issues (2010-2013), hazardous material concerns (2011), and parking violations in the vicinity. While many of these issues have been addressed or marked as not active, the recurring nature of the vacant storefront violations and recent complaints about building conditions suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 2720-2724 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.
