Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1716 Clement Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1978 and is currently owned by Kevin K & Helen Ng Yee Surv. The most significant recent structural work involved emergency repairs in 2016 when extensive dry rot damage was discovered in two cantilevered balconies, leading to their complete demolition and the installation of 42" guardrails over sliding doors, a project that began with an initial $3,000 permit and required a subsequent revision. The building underwent reroofing in 1996, though that permit has since expired.

The property has a documented history of routine housing inspections in 1997, 2003, and 2009, all of which were completed without any noted ongoing issues. Recent activity around the property has primarily consisted of parking-related complaints, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024, though most of these cases could not be validated by responding officers. There are also two open infrastructure issues as of September 2024 involving pavement and curb defects. The building experienced a sewage backup incident in August 2016 that was resolved, and there is one recorded fire incident of an unspecified nature with no civilian injuries. The property has been relatively well-maintained in terms of formal complaints, with no active housing violations or major structural concerns reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1716 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, 202 are predicted to be safer.
