Initial analysis

The property at 2332 Clement Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1910, currently containing two residential units and formerly housing a second-floor restaurant that has been the focus of numerous modifications over the years. Most significantly, in April 2023, an approved building permit was issued to convert the second-floor restaurant into two new residential units, along with adding a second means of exit for the ground floor restaurant, representing a substantial change to the building's configuration. The building's safety and egress concerns have been a recurring theme in its history, with several permits in 1994 related to establishing a second means of egress and providing a fire escape, though most of these permits expired. A fire safety issue was documented in late 2020/early 2021 regarding operation without a permit, which was subsequently corrected.

The ground floor has maintained its commercial use, most recently operating as a BBQ restaurant with a grease trap installation in 2013, though this permit has since expired. The building's exterior and surrounding area have seen various maintenance and compliance issues, including sidewalk repairs (2003), a blocked sidewalk complaint in 2017, and multiple street cleaning and garbage issues documented through 311 calls between 2020 and 2024. A building complaint was filed in April 2023 regarding a vacant commercial space, which is no longer active. Planning records reveal several approvals related to the commercial space, including ABC Type 41 licensing and rear yard exception permits, suggesting ongoing regulatory compliance efforts by the ownership. The property is currently under the Chang Chen Family Revocable Trust ownership, with the most recent significant modifications focusing on residential conversions of previously commercial spaces.

Risk rating

How 2332 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.
