Initial analysis

The three-story mixed-use building at 225-229 Clement Street in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood, owned by Wanyu LLC, was constructed in 1908 and contains three residential units above a commercial space. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with particular attention to fire safety and restaurant modernization. Most recently, in 2019, a UL300 fire system was installed ($6,500) along with electrical trim and lighting installations ($2,000). This followed a $195,000 restaurant interior renovation in 2015-2016 that included kitchen and bar updates, electrical work, and plumbing modifications. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a roof replacement in 2014 ($24,300) and the installation of 27 vinyl windows in 2002 ($9,660).

A notable event in the building's recent history was the vacant commercial storefront violation filed in March 2018, which was abated by January 2019 following compliance with the vacant storefront ordinance. The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti (most recently in 2021), a hazardous materials incident in 2022, and various parking-related concerns. The commercial space has undergone several use changes, with records indicating a transition from a fast-food to a full-service restaurant, and the current tenant appears to be Shu Lin, a business with historical approval for Type 41 ABC liquor license. The building's recent permit activity suggests ongoing investment in safety systems and maintaining modern facilities, though some older permits remain in "Issued" status as of 2023.

Risk rating

How 225-229 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.
