Initial analysis

The property at 400 Clipper Street is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1929 and currently owned by Rebecca Saeger and Tho Graves. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent being a water heater replacement in February 2023 and water main replacement in February 2022. Prior upgrades include a high-efficiency furnace replacement in 2012, though there appears to be no recent heating system maintenance on record. The building has made sustainable energy improvements, including the installation of two solar systems: an 18-kilowatt system in 2004 and a smaller 2.35-kilowatt system in 2011.

The property has experienced some maintenance and infrastructure challenges in recent months, particularly in late 2024, with three documented sewage back-up incidents from the side sewer vent (October 18 and November 1), multiple reports of merchandise blocking the sidewalk (October 17, November 5), and one instance of a sidewalk defect involving a lifted surface. Additional reports from 2024 include issues with graffiti on both a sidewalk and a pole, though these were resolved by city services. The building's history shows generally responsible maintenance of major systems, with significant investments in roofing (2003) and various systems upgrades, though the recent concentration of sewer and sidewalk-related issues may warrant attention to the building's infrastructure systems.

Risk rating

How 400 Clipper 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
61th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 733 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.2%
Moderate concern 22.2%
Severe concern 16.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
