Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 282-290 Clipper Street in Noe Valley, owned by Robert A Spano, consists of 6 units and was constructed in 1904. The building has a history of regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with records showing inspections in 1996, 2001, and 2007, all of which were completed on the same day they were filed. A notable incident from 1994 involved a complaint about illegal units, recurring unit additions, sewage issues, and a fire-related furniture removal incident, though this complaint was subsequently abated within the same month. The most recent building-related activity was a street space permit issued in July 2010, with an associated nominal cost of $1.

In recent years, there has been a significant pattern of parking enforcement issues near the property, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple complaints about driveways being blocked. Between November 2023 and January 2025, there have been at least eight documented cases of blocked driveways, with several resulting in citations being issued. The pattern shows recurring violations, with vehicles often going unlocated or requiring officers to respond multiple times for enforcement. The majority of these recent incidents have occurred in 2024, suggesting an ongoing challenge with parking enforcement in the immediate vicinity, though these issues primarily relate to public street parking rather than the building's internal operations or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 282-290 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, 1466 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.9%
Moderate concern 21.1%
Severe concern 25.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
