Initial analysis

The two-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 1419-1423 Clayton Street, owned by Berton H & Jacqueline G Ste, was constructed in 1954 and has undergone several significant upgrades over the years. Most recently, in August 2023 and October 2023, the building received substantial fire safety improvements, including a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code Section 1103.7.6.1, with work including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and upgrading existing devices. The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential systems, with major projects like reroofing (2014 - $22,465), foundation and retaining wall repairs (2006 - $18,000), and electrical system upgrades including underground service installation (2005). Multiple fire alarm system-related complaints were recorded in 2024, with the most recent being resolved with corrected conditions.

The property's compliance history shows some notable issues that have been addressed over time. In 2010, multiple violations were documented, including concerns about lead-based paint, combustible storage, security requirements, and fire safety systems, all of which were abated by March 2010. A sewer-related complaint was recorded in 2012 and resolved in early 2013, and there were some plumbing system issues noted in 2009 regarding hot and cold water availability. The building has maintained regular routine inspections, including records from 2001, 2010, and 2017. Recent 311 calls (2023-2024) primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning, graffiti, and debris, which are typical urban maintenance matters not necessarily indicative of building conditions. The property has demonstrated a commitment to ongoing maintenance and compliance with safety regulations, as evidenced by recent substantial investments in fire safety upgrades and prompt resolution of various maintenance issues over the years.

Risk rating

How 1419-1423 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

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Property class

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects. This code is grouped with other less-common classes.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 24.5%
Moderate concern 45.4%
Severe concern 30.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
