Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 128-130 Clifford Terrace in Buena Vista Park is a 2-story flats and duplex property built in 1978, currently owned by the Fong Family Trust 2012. The building has undergone several notable maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a roof replacement in 2017 costing $8,500 and dry rot repairs to the rear deck balcony in 2011 ($3,000). The property received a gas line installation for the stove in 2017, and its major systems and structures were brought into compliance with housing requirements in 1989. An earlier horizontal addition was completed in 1988.

The most recent records show significant activity in 2024, primarily related to parking enforcement issues around the property, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking. Between June and October 2024, there were at least seven parking-related incidents reported through 311 calls, most of which were resolved or closed with various outcomes, including some vehicles being found not to be abandoned upon inspection. There was one fire complaint in 2013 which was referred to another agency, and records show a tenant buyout situation at 124 Clifford Terrace, though no specific details or date are provided. The building's maintenance history indicates regular upkeep, with no recent major structural issues reported beyond the historical balcony repairs.

Risk rating

How 128-130 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
