Initial analysis

263 Clinton Park is a three-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, currently owned by Dearman Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent activity focusing on unit D, which is currently undergoing a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel, including electrical rewiring, installation of new smoke detectors, and a new subpanel, with permits issued in late 2024. Historical records show this building has maintained an active schedule of improvements, including rear staircase replacements, kitchen remodels, and various repairs since at least 2001, with completed work on reroofing the building in 1994.

The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues and compliance concerns throughout its history, with the most recent significant inspection occurring in 2022. This inspection revealed several building safety concerns including a non-functioning fire escape ladder, missing gas utility shutoff tool, and the need for compliance affidavits, all of which were officially abated by March 2023. Earlier violations from 2002 documented problems with plumbing and mildew in several units, though these were resolved within approximately one month. Recent 311 calls in 2022-2024 primarily relate to street and sidewalk maintenance issues outside the building, including cleaning of debris, waste, and occasional sewer-related matters, which were all addressed by city services. The building's maintenance history suggests proactive management, with regular updates and repairs, though it has faced periodic challenges with both unit-specific and common area conditions that have required attention.

Risk rating

How 263 Clinton Park'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.
