Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1631-1635 Clement Street, owned by Rose Wang and constructed in 1923, consists of two residential units with ground-floor commercial space. The property has undergone several significant transformations, most recently in 2023 when permits were filed to convert and merge a vacant commercial space with a ground-floor unit to create a new living space with one bedroom, one bath, and a wet bar, following the resolution of a vacant commercial storefront violation from 2022. This violation pattern appears to have begun in 2018 with similar complaints about vacant commercial space, which have since been resolved. The building has seen various improvements over the years, including the installation of roof-mounted solar panels in 2019, the addition of direct-vent gas furnaces in 2009, and other safety upgrades such as smoke detectors.

Historical modifications of note include a 2009 renovation that responded to heating and safety complaints by installing new heating systems and smoke detectors, as well as a 1985 project to add a roof and new stairway. The property experienced some safety-related incidents, including several cooking-related fire incidents and alarm activations, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Regular maintenance and compliance issues have primarily centered around the vacant commercial space, for which the owner has taken steps to convert into additional residential space. The building also has a history of parking enforcement and street cleaning issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020-2023, though these are typical urban neighborhood occurrences rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1631-1635 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.
