Initial analysis

The three-story mixed-use building at 1461-1465 Grant Avenue in Telegraph Hill, owned by David F. & Rowena Gee, has a documented history dating back to its 1906 construction as a flat with retail space. The property consists of four residential units and has undergone various modifications and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most notably, from October 2011 through early 2012, the building had significant plumbing violations involving improperly installed water heater flues and kitchen sink waste piping, which required multiple permits to correct, including copper pipe installation for three units in August 2011 and proper flue connections in March 2012.

The building's recent history (2021-2024) shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding the commercial space, with multiple complaints about the vacant storefront and boarded windows (2021-2022). There have been documented issues with building exterior maintenance, graffiti, and rodent infestation in 2021. While some earlier problems were resolved, such as a roof leak in 1995 and plumbing violations in 2012, the property has experienced periodic maintenance issues throughout its history. The S&S Grocery, the commercial component of the property, is recognized as a Legacy Business, though it has faced regulatory scrutiny regarding window transparency and merchandise display.

Risk rating

How 1461-1465 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.
