Initial analysis

The property at 252-254 Clipper Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, owned by Eric Neplokh and constructed in 1900. The building's history shows significant renovation activity in the year 2000, including an interior renovation valued at $23,000, followed by multiple permits and revisions related to structural work, including new joists and a proposed vertical addition. A major violation was filed in July 2000, citing unauthorized construction of a two-story horizontal addition at the rear, attic conversion to habitable space, unpermitted foundation work, and unauthorized interior work, though this was abated by September 2001. Earlier concerns from 1994-1997 indicated possible unauthorized unit conversions, with complaints about the property being changed from R-2 to R-4 status, though these violations are now inactive.

More recent history shows primarily routine maintenance and parking-related issues. There was a plumbing inspection in August 2014, and recent 311 calls in 2024 have addressed driveway blocking and a missing PG&E gas valve lid. The only recorded fire-related incident was a smoke detector activation due to malfunction, with no injuries reported. The building seems to have stabilized since the early 2000s, with no significant building violations or unauthorized modifications reported in recent years, though there have been occasional parking enforcement issues on the surrounding street.

Risk rating

How 252-254 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, 395 are predicted to be safer.
