AI summary

The property at 1913-1917 Grant Avenue is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Telegraph Hill, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Weston Shaun R & Levy-westo. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2007-2009, focusing primarily on roofing modifications. This included three separate reroofing projects in 2007 (costing $4,600) and 2008 (also $4,600), along with deck restoration work in December 2007 valued at $6,400. The plumbing system received updates in 2009 and 2017, including the installation of a shower pan in the garage bathroom and gas piping work, with the 2009 plumbing permits showing some expired status but generally indicating completion of bathroom improvements.

The building has a relatively clean record regarding housing complaints, with only one routine inspection noted in 2001 that was resolved within one day. Since 2021, there has been a recurring issue with blocked driveways, particularly evident through multiple parking enforcement calls, though these are external to the building itself. Recent environmental concerns have been documented through 311 calls, including reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity during 2023-2024, though these were street-level issues rather than building-specific problems. A noteworthy planning record from 2020 indicates a staff-initiated investigation regarding the potential loss of dwelling units during an internal remodel, though the outcome is marked as closed with no developer name listed.

Risk rating

How 1913-1917 Grant Ave'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
99th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 91.3%
Moderate concern 5.0%
Severe concern 3.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
