Initial analysis

The property at 2309-2311 Clement Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground floor commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Curry Gs Corporation. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades, with particular concern around unauthorized construction. Most recently, in 2024, there were violations regarding work done without proper permits, including an addition in the rear and issues with previously expired permits for stairs and deck repairs from 2022. The building has a history of permit-related compliance issues, with multiple violations between 2005-2024 regarding unauthorized construction and expired permits, particularly concerning the restaurant space (Top SF BBQ) on the ground floor. These include problems with a kitchen hood installation in 2017, and multiple complaints about work performed without proper permits between 2005-2024.

The property has undergone various legitimate improvements and maintenance work, including two completed fire suppression system installations (2018 and 2017), sewer line repairs (2007), and multiple restaurant-related renovations. Historical maintenance issues have included floor damage (2006), defective gutters (2006), and several plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building operates under special use permits as a restaurant with ABC Type 41 license, continuing an existing use within the Outer Clement Neighborhood Commercial District. While there are currently no active building violations as of October 2023, several recent complaints regarding unauthorized work and permit issues are still within their abatement period, set to expire in early 2025. The property has also experienced various minor neighborhood issues documented through 311 calls, including pavement defects, illegal postings, and occasional encampment-related concerns, though these are primarily related to the public sidewalk rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2309-2311 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.
