Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 323 Clement Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Kwong Lam Po & Shirley Kam, has been in operation since 1900 and contains two units with commercial space. The property has experienced several significant plumbing and maintenance issues over the years, particularly related to its commercial use as a restaurant (currently operating as Bettola). Most notably, there is an active violation from December 2022 regarding unauthorized awning replacement, while previous plumbing violations in 2012 involved improper grease removal systems and sink drainage issues, though these were ultimately resolved. The building has undergone several permitted improvements including gas line replacement (2014), floor sink installation (2012), water main repair (2009), and reroofing (1989). Between 2017 and 2029, there have been multiple reports of graffiti and illegal postings on or near the property, all of which were resolved through appropriate channels.

The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep typical of a structure of its age, with most permits showing completion. A smoke-related incident was recorded but resulted in no civilian injuries. Recent activity includes a 311 complaint in February 2024 that was closed due to an invalid address, and DPW inspections in late 2022 that were either found to be non-existent or resolved. The building was previously subject to grease-related violations in 2002, which were abated in 2012, along with a water leakage complaint affecting an adjacent property. The property's documented history suggests ongoing commercial operations with periodic maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly related to its restaurant use and exterior modifications.

Risk rating

How 323 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.
