Initial analysis

The property at 2314-2316 Clement Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1909 and containing two units. The building, owned by Quach Cuong Chi, is situated in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood and has experienced several notable events throughout its history. Most recently, in May 2024, permits were issued to legalize an unpermitted awning and associated signage for "Ilana Coffee" as part of the city's Awning Amnesty Program, following a 2022 complaint about the unauthorized installation that reportedly blocked windows. The building underwent significant commercial improvements in 2012, including updates to comply with ADA requirements for a coffee store, with associated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC work totaling approximately $30,000. Earlier renovations in 2003 involved the establishment of "Zazen Coffee Tea & Organics," including barrier removal and electrical upgrades.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly evident in 2008-2009 when multiple housing violations were documented, including issues with heating systems, window repairs, and building identification. These violations were ultimately resolved by September 2008. Infrastructure improvements have been undertaken over the years, including a new 200-amp electrical service installation in 2003, reroofing work in 1989, and various plumbing updates. More recent activity at the location has primarily involved routine urban maintenance issues, as evidenced by 311 calls in 2024 regarding public graffiti and encampments, though these external matters are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property's location has been subject to street-level issues common to urban environments, including parking meter damage and sidewalk obstruction complaints, which have typically been addressed promptly by city services.

Risk rating

How 2314-2316 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.
