AI summary

The two-story multi-family residential building at 233-235 Clement Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, was constructed in 1902 and contains two residential units plus retail space. The building's recent history has been marked by significant commercial activity, most notably the 2020 conversion of a previously vacant optometrist office into a cannabis retail store, which included substantial tenant improvements valued at $180,000. This retail transformation went through proper channels with Conditional Use Authorization and was subject to ADA improvements including bathroom accessibility. Prior to this change, the property experienced a period of vacancy that triggered multiple complaints between 2018 and 2020 regarding non-compliance with the Vacant or Abandoned Commercial Storefront Ordinance, though these violations were eventually abated.

The building's earlier history shows various improvement projects dating back to the mid-1990s, including bathroom remodeling and storefront renovations. The property has been subject to multiple external maintenance issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by 311 calls between 2016 and 2024, though these primarily relate to street and sidewalk conditions rather than building-specific problems. Recent calls in 2023-2024 have involved reports of waste on or near the property, which were addressed by city services. The building's commercial space has undergone proper regulatory review and approval processes for its current use, including provisions for limited live performances as an accessory use to the cannabis retail establishment, indicating compliance with current zoning and planning requirements.

Risk rating

How 233-235 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 1723 buildings in this neighborhood, 190 are predicted to be safer.
