Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 115-117 Clement Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Lai Tung-loi & Wai Ying Rev, has a documented history dating back to 1900. The property, which also includes a commercial storefront, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance projects over the years. Most recently, in 2014, substantial work was completed including reroofing (costing $23,000), replacement of the house trap in the sidewalk area, and street space-related work. Earlier maintenance included roof work in 2008 ($4,500), wall reinforcement work, and significant renovations in 2001 that included kitchen and bathroom remodeling, window replacement, and system upgrades.

The building experienced a fire incident in 2000 that required exterior siding replacement and insulation work ($5,000). Two notable complaints about a vacant commercial storefront were filed in May 2018 but were marked as not active. Recent observations from 2024 indicate recurring issues with sidewalk cleanliness, including reports of human waste and other debris, though these were all resolved through appropriate city services. The building's fire safety systems have been activated twice without actual fires - once due to an unintentional alarm and once for a malfunctioning smoke detector, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to essential systems and structures, with particular focus on roofing, which has been addressed multiple times over the decades.

Risk rating

How 115-117 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
41th percentile

Out of 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 1017 are predicted to be safer.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
