Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 511 Clipper Street in Noe Valley is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by the Julie Anne Carlyle 2006 Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, including a complete reroofing in 2009 costing $5,880, substantial kitchen renovations in both units in 2002 (including sheetrock repairs and cabinet replacements), and HVAC improvements with the installation of a York furnace in 2012 and a wall heater in 2011.

The property's recent history shows limited internal building issues reported, with the majority of documented incidents relating to external matters on the street and sidewalks. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and defaced parking signs near the property, with the most recent incidents occurring in late 2023 and early 2024. There were also two instances of illegal postings in 2022 that required removal, and several cases of street cleaning needs were reported and resolved between 2022 and 2023. While these external issues do not directly affect the building's condition, they may impact the overall environment around the property. The building's permit and maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of major systems and infrastructure, with no recent internal disturbances or structural concerns reported through official channels.

Risk rating

How 511 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
77th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 432 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.8%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 3.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
