Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 114 Clarendon Ave, owned by the Wright-york Family Trust, was constructed in 1908 and converted from a 4-unit to a 2-unit configuration in 1991. The property has undergone several improvements over the decades, including a cosmetic bathroom remodel in 2020 (cost: $10,000), sewer and house trap installation in January 2024, and various historical projects such as reroofing in 1995 and kitchen remodeling work in 1985. Of particular concern is an active complaint filed in January 2023 regarding deteriorating back stairs, which remains unresolved as of the latest review. The building's safety record shows multiple fire alarm activations since 2009, though all were either false alarms, unintentional activations, or related to malfunctioning systems, with no civilian injuries reported in any incidents. While there have been some structural and maintenance concerns over the years, including a notable "building or structure weakened or collapsed" alarm activation, most historical complaints and incidents have been promptly addressed.

The surrounding area has experienced various municipal issues in recent months (January 2025), including reports of abandoned vehicles, garbage and debris, and infrastructure concerns like blocked sidewalks and damaged trees, though these are external to the building itself. Historical fire complaints between 2014-2018 regarding street numbering and fire extinguishers were found to have no merit, and the property has undergone regular maintenance and updates as evidenced by various building permits. The building's recent improvements, including the 2024 plumbing work and bathroom remodel, suggest ongoing attention to maintenance, though the unresolved staircase complaint warrants monitoring.

Risk rating

How 114 Clarendon Ave'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
57th percentile

Out of 40 buildings in this neighborhood, 17 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 75.8%
Moderate concern 18.2%
Severe concern 5.9%
