Initial analysis

The property at 1509-1511 Clement St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by the Todd Family Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the years, most notably in 2013 when substantial work was performed on the rear of the building including the demolition of existing stairs and wall sections, installation of new stairs, and addition of a 42-inch parapet, costing approximately $25,000. In 2006, the building underwent a kitchen and bathroom remodel including cabinet replacements, window upgrades, and various plumbing improvements, though this work initially generated multiple complaints regarding unpermitted construction and improper plumbing materials which were subsequently addressed and abated. Earlier violations from 2001 were related to plumbing work using improper materials and ventilation.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of exterior maintenance and city services, with several 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking issues and street cleaning matters. In 2023, there were multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans near the property that were resolved through pickup services. The most recent building work recorded was in 2014, involving a street space permit, while the property’s historical permit activity shows consistent maintenance of both residential and commercial components of the building. The Todd Family Living Trust has maintained ownership through all recorded improvements and compliance issues, with all known violations having been resolved and marked as not active. The building continues to function as a mixed-use property in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood, with its historical renovations reflecting the typical ongoing maintenance and upgrading of early 20th-century residential buildings in the city.

Risk rating

How 1509-1511 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.
