Initial analysis

The 317-321 Clementina Street property is a 9-story, 91-unit multi-family residential building owned by Ceatrice Polite LP and constructed in 1984. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including multiple window replacements (most recently in 2019 with aluminum windows), fire alarm system upgrades, and various infrastructure improvements. Recent building issues have raised safety concerns, particularly regarding fire safety, with multiple violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 related to sleeping area requirements, standpipe systems, and general fire code compliance. The building has experienced recurring problems with its fire alarm system, evidenced by numerous false alarms and malfunctions, though no civilian injuries have been reported from these incidents.

The property has a history of both routine and specific inspections revealing various concerns. A 2001 violation regarding a single wall heat exchanger was eventually abated in 2005. Recent tenant complaints in 2022 included concerns about construction debris falling from the building and inaccessible windows. The building underwent major renovations in 2005-2006, including electrical, plumbing, and fire safety system upgrades worth millions. Recent maintenance activities have included fire alarm system testing in December 2023, though the building has continued to receive fire code violations in 2023 and 2024. While the property has generally addressed historical violations, the frequency of recent fire safety issues suggests ongoing concerns in this area.

Risk rating

How 317-321 Clementina 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

Number of units
