Initial analysis

240 Clinton Park is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Mission Dolores, constructed in 1980 and currently owned by John R Botts Jr & William F. The building has undergone minimal major work since construction, with only one documented renovation - a reroofing project valued at $5,980 completed in 2009. The property has experienced several recent infrastructure and maintenance issues, particularly in 2021, when multiple incidents were reported including sewer backup from a manhole cover, collapsed sidewalk, and a defect in the sidewalk with other lift issues. Three street cleaning incidents were recorded in October 2021, involving various debris including human or animal waste. The building's vicinity experienced some parking-related challenges, with multiple reports of blocked driveways and disabled vehicles between 2020 and 2024, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. Other notable incidents include an overgrown tree near communication lines (November 2021) and a dumpster blocking a parking space (September 2020). In terms of safety history, there was one smoke scare incident recorded with no civilian injuries. The property has been the subject of several planning records, including an approved expansion of a parking lot from 28 to 45 spaces and a proposal for five duplexes over parking, though these appear to be related to adjacent properties rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 240 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.
