Initial analysis

The property at 1834-1836 Grant Avenue in Telegraph Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by the Athem Of The Sun Revocable trust. The building's maintenance record shows two significant structural improvements: a complete reroofing project in 1998 and a sewer replacement in 2012, both of which were successfully completed under proper permits.

The building and its surroundings have experienced several notable incidents over the past 15 years, though none appear to pose immediate safety concerns for residents. The most recent incident was a misplaced vehicle blocking a driveway in December 2024, which was investigated but could not be validated by responding officers. Other incidents include a hazardous materials removal in September 2020, a second-hand smoke complaint in June 2018 (transferred to the Department of Public Health's Retail Tobacco & Smoking Program), and various street cleaning matters including expired signs removal in February 2022, loose garbage cleanup in January 2018, and encampment item removal in November 2009. While these incidents demonstrate ongoing urban environmental challenges in the neighborhood, they have all been addressed by the appropriate city agencies through standard response protocols.

Risk rating

How 1834-1836 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
97th percentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 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 90.6%
Moderate concern 5.2%
Severe concern 4.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
