Initial analysis

The property at 3227-3229 Clement Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Outer Richmond neighborhood. Built in 1926 and currently owned by the Ng Family Trust, this flats/duplex-style building has undergone several significant inspections and maintenance events over the past few decades. The most notable cluster of issues occurred in October 2007 when multiple security violations were documented, including requirements for door viewers and self-closing devices, all of which were abated by November 1, 2007. The building has undergone at least two routine housing inspections since then (in 1998 and 2011) with no ongoing issues. A roofing project was permitted in 1995, though this permit is listed as expired.

Recent activity at the property primarily consists of exterior maintenance and city service calls, with the most current being a Rent Board housing inventory request in December 2023. The building's vicinity has experienced various typical urban issues including graffiti (with multiple reports in 2021), hazardous materials (glass) cleanup in 2020, and several reports of abandoned vehicles between 2014 and 2017, though these are external to the building itself. A notable infrastructure issue was reported in 2014 regarding a collapsed sidewalk, which involved approximately 70 square feet of damaged pavement. While the building's historical records show a pattern of responding to maintenance and safety requirements, no recent building-specific violations or complaints have been recorded, suggesting compliance with current housing standards.

Risk rating

How 3227-3229 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.

Neighborhood percentile
