Initial analysis

The property at 228 Clipper Street in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Luis & Kelly Sanchez since 2016. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being foundation underpinning completed in 2018 (cost: $15,000) and a porch enclosure project in 2015 valued at $72,000. Other notable renovations include window replacements in 2006 (upgrading to dual-glazed, low-e vinyl windows), complete reroofing in 2005, and a garage door replacement in 2014. The property has maintained its basic systems, with plumbing upgrades including sewer and gas line work completed in 2014 and 2013 respectively, and electrical improvements to accommodate living space modifications completed in 2016.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, though there was a historic incident in 2000 when the garage was improperly converted into an upholstery business, which resulted in two building complaints that were resolved within a few months. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement issues near the property, with seven documented cases of blocked driveways or sidewalk parking between 2023 and 2025, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property has received various permits for improvements and repairs over the years, with the majority being completed successfully, though one permit from 2015 for porch enclosure work is noted as expired.

Risk rating

How 228 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, 658 are predicted to be safer.
