Initial analysis

The 5-unit multi-family residential building at 930-938 Clement Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Cheng Yudan & Hua Wen, is a 3-story flat and store structure built in 1907. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a 2023 active complaint regarding potentially hazardous construction dust related to top-of-building siding work. In 2022, there was an attempt to replace the sewer lateral p-trap, which was ultimately canceled. The building had a history of vacant storefront violations between 2018-2019 that required monthly monitoring fees and director hearings. Earlier improvements include substantial renovations in 2008 ($44,000) involving kitchen, laundry, and bathroom remodeling on the 2nd and 3rd floors, along with furnace installations and electrical upgrades. A dry rot repair was completed on the rear exit stair in 2015, and more recent work includes partition removal between ground floor retail spaces in 2020 and the installation of an insta-hot water heater.

The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over its history, including notable electrical problems in 1997 when wiring conditions caused fuse issues, though this was eventually resolved in 2011. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2025 indicate ongoing maintenance needs in the vicinity, including issues with street lighting, encampments, and garbage concerns. The building's compliance history shows a pattern of addressing violations, with most being abated within reasonable timeframes, though a vacant commercial storefront complaint from 2018 required multiple notices and was ultimately resolved in 2019. The most significant recent building concern appears to be the active 2023 complaint regarding dust generation from construction work.

Risk rating

How 930-938 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.
