Initial analysis

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 456-458 Clipper Street in Noe Valley, owned by Robinson Marital Trust 1998, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over its history. In 2005, the property received substantial attention to its exterior structures, including the replacement of 14 tread steps and stair landing, as well as repairs to three footings, along with remediation of dry rot damage on the front porch, with total expenditures exceeding $3,700. The building experienced fire safety violations in late 2002 related to fire extinguishers and combustible storage, though these were promptly addressed and abated by March 2003.

More recent concerns for the property include a sequence of garbage and debris issues recorded between August and November 2024, though these are primarily related to street cleaning and waste management rather than building conditions. The most recent building-related incident was a water main issue reported and resolved in December 2024. Historical records show attention to rear stair safety, with planning approvals for replacing the rear stairs and deck structure, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of safety features. The property has been subject to parking enforcement actions in 2023-2024, indicating occasional issues with street parking in the vicinity. A notable tenant buyout occurred in 2015, involving two tenants with a payout of $29,500.

Risk rating

How 456-458 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1447 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 20.0%
Moderate concern 13.9%
Severe concern 66.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
