Initial analysis

The three-story mixed-use building at 1115-1119 Clement Street in the Inner Richmond, owned by Lai Yongkun and constructed in 1912, contains three residential units plus commercial space. In 2019, significant improvements were made to the property, including the conversion of the second floor from office to residential use, legalization of two full bathrooms, and associated plumbing and electrical upgrades, with permits totaling over $27,000. This followed a 2019 complaint suggesting possible unpermitted conversions and short-term rental operations, which appeared to have been resolved through the proper legalization process. The building has experienced recurring commercial vacancy issues, with storefronts documented as vacant in 2018, 2022, and continuing into 2024, along with a 2022 complaint regarding an improperly placed sign.

Recent concerns have centered around sewer infrastructure, with multiple flooding and sewage backup incidents reported between January 2023 and December 2024, including an open public health complaint as of December 2024. The property has also faced maintenance challenges, with documented issues in the 1990s including plumbing problems, poor lighting, and pest infestations, though these appear to have been addressed at the time. Two recent instances of graffiti were reported in 2023, one of which remains unresolved, and there have been various parking-related incidents in the vicinity. The commercial space has a long history of restaurant use, with recent permits confirming its continued operation as a legally nonconforming use in the Inner Clement NCD.

Risk rating

How 1115-1119 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.
