Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2947-2949 Clement Street in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood is a vintage structure built in 1908, currently owned by Bypass Trust. The property has undergone several renovation projects over the past two decades, with the most recent significant work being a second-floor bathroom remodel completed in 2012 costing $9,200, which included electrical upgrades such as new circuits, lighting, and fan installation. Previous improvements include kitchen renovations in 2008 and multiple bathroom remodels in 2005, all with completed permits showing appropriate plumbing and electrical work. A routine housing inspection in 2007 identified several safety compliance issues including fire extinguisher maintenance, security features, and gas meter instructions, all of which were resolved by January 2008.

The building experienced a plumbing incident in September 2013 involving unauthorized washing machine connections between units, which was promptly addressed within three weeks. More recent external issues include a sidewalk defect reported in March 2016, which was investigated and documented as having one square foot of damaged/uneven surface. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential systems, including a completed reroofing project in 2006. All historical violations and complaints have been resolved, with no active issues on record as of October 2023. The building's renovation history demonstrates ongoing maintenance and upgrades to both common areas and individual units, with particular attention to bathroom and kitchen facilities over the years.

Risk rating

How 2947-2949 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Permit rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building permit rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 58.8%
Moderate concern 33.3%
Severe concern 7.9%
