Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 714-718 Clement Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond district, owned by Sellai Properties LLC, was constructed in 1906 and contains 4 units plus commercial space. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. Notably, there was a fire escape blockage reported in October 2022, caused by an awning, which led to a violation notice in November 2022 that was officially abated in January 2023. The building has undergone some recent improvements, including a window replacement project in 2021 featuring energy-efficient Fibrex materials, and a reroofing project completed in 2009 with a cost of $15,100. Previous exterior maintenance issues include significant paint deterioration on the east face of the building reported in December 2019.

The property has been subject to various external maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021-2023, including multiple instances of street cleaning issues, graffiti on both building and bike rack surfaces, and sidewalk blockage concerns. There was a notable incident in July 2021 involving improper use of sidewalk space by outdoor cafe furniture, which was documented as exceeding permitted dimensions and having multiple code violations. The building has undergone routine housing inspections, with records showing attention to maintaining residential and commercial aspects of the property. Two fire-related complaints have been recorded, with the most recent one in 2022 focusing on fire escape issues that were subsequently addressed through official violation processes. The property has also experienced recurring issues with street-level waste management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding overflowing city garbage cans in 2023, though these were resolved promptly through city services.

Risk rating

How 714-718 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.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
