Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 106-108 Clifford Terrace in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1905, currently owned by Kurt J Posey. The property has undergone several notable improvements over the past few decades, with the most significant being a 2016 kitchen remodel ($18,400) and subsequent electrical upgrades in 2017-2019, including a 100-amp panel replacement and kitchen electrical relocation. A complete chimney removal and roof patching was performed in 1995, and there was an incident in 1999 involving sewage overflow through an electrical box, though this was promptly addressed within two weeks.

The building's recent history shows ongoing maintenance and public space engagement, with two permits issued in 2004 for street space and sidewalk work, though no cost was associated with these permits. The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues in 2023, with eight documented incidents ranging from abandoned vehicles to parking on sidewalks, primarily involving various makes and models of vehicles. The most recent building-related incident was a CO detector malfunction, which typically poses minimal risk if properly addressed. Recent street maintenance issues have been relatively minor, with the most recent case involving glass debris in July 2024, which was resolved. Overall, the building has maintained active compliance with necessary permits and has addressed both historical and recent maintenance needs, particularly focusing on kitchen and electrical systems.

Risk rating

How 106-108 Clifford Ter'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
56th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 154 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.4%
Moderate concern 13.9%
Severe concern 6.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
