Initial analysis

The three-story, eight-unit multi-family residential building at 1440-1442 Clement Street in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Khostovan Ali & Fatemah, has undergone several significant renovations since its construction in 1913. Most recently, in 2014, Unit 2 received extensive updates including bathroom remodeling, fixture replacements, and electrical work, though this sparked multiple complaints about unpermitted work which were eventually resolved. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations between 2018 and 2024 related to alarm systems, extinguishers, and blocked exits, though all have been marked as abated. Notable improvements were made in 2008-2014, including bathroom remodels, concrete work in the rear yard, and electrical upgrades, though some permits had to be renewed or were marked as expired. The property has faced several regulatory challenges, including lead hazard violations in 2013 related to peeling exterior paint, and a 2019 violation for building owner contact posting requirements. Recent inspections have shown ongoing maintenance of the building's systems, though there have been occasional complaints about hot water temperature and security issues such as a broken front door lock in 2014. The property has experienced multiple parking-related incidents outside the building, with several citations issued for driveway blocking between 2022-2024.

Risk rating

How 1440-1442 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
8th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 2070 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 31.5%
Moderate concern 49.6%
Severe concern 18.8%
