Initial analysis

The property at 1472-1474 Clayton Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Corona Heights, constructed in 1911 and currently owned by Eugene J Cerbone. The building has undergone minimal major modifications in recent history, with a withdrawn 2009 permit application proposing significant horizontal additions and remodeling, including entryway and stair enlargement, bedroom expansions, bathroom renovations, and new bay windows in the upper unit. The building's infrastructure has seen some maintenance work, including a reroofing project in 2000 and an electrical system upgrade with three new meters installed in 2003, though both permits are now expired.

Recent incidents highlighting potential resident concerns include a November 2020 complaint about improper dryer vent installation that caused a burn hazard on the sidewalk, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." The property has experienced recurring issues with waste management compliance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage receptacle management, though these have been addressed through inspections and enforcement actions. Additional maintenance and safety concerns have been documented through various 311 calls between 2020 and 2024, including sidewalk defects, illegal postings, and a sewage backup incident in May 2020 that required resolution by the PUC Sewer Operations team. While some recent cases, such as graffiti removal and litter issues, have been resolved through appropriate channels, there appear to be ongoing challenges with property maintenance and compliance with city regulations, particularly regarding waste management practices.

Risk rating

How 1472-1474 Clayton 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
