Initial analysis

22 Clifford Terrace is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1959, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood and containing 10 units. The property has undergone several significant repairs and improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent major work occurring in 2020 when dry-rotted wooden stair framing was replaced with steel beams and columns at a cost of $20,000. The building has experienced periodic maintenance issues, particularly regarding fire safety systems, with multiple fire alarm system violations recorded between 2007 and 2024, most recently in March 2024. A substantial cluster of violations was documented in 2002, including issues with fire proofing, fire escape ladders, stairs, handrails, and gas utility shutoff tools, though these were all abated by November 2002.

The property has seen consistent maintenance work over the years, including window replacements in 2011, deck joist repairs in 2006, and various interior improvements. Plumbing upgrades were conducted in 2017 with the replacement of the forced air furnace. More recently, there have been some quality-of-life concerns reported through 311 calls in 2024, including noise complaints and sidewalk parking violations, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. The building underwent roofing work in 1992 and has had various interior improvements completed, including bathroom and decking repairs. A fire inspection in 2024 resulted in a violation for the alarm system, and while there were previous fire system issues noted in 2017, they were promptly corrected.

Risk rating

How 22 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.
