Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1435-1439 Grant Avenue, owned by Randal & Bryn Brugioni and built in 1907, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various challenges in recent years. In 2020-2021, substantial improvements were made to the first-floor retail space, including a $40,000 renovation with new ADA-compliant bathroom facilities, followed by electrical work, plumbing updates, and the installation of a Mitsubishi mini-split heat pump system. The residential portion received updates in 2004, including kitchen repairs and bathroom additions, along with window installation requirements for fire safety compliance. A notable construction complaint was filed in 2004 regarding unpermitted work, which remained active until 2012.

The building's recent history (2023-2024) has seen several entertainment-related noise complaints, with multiple reports filed between September 2023 and May 2024. All of these complaints were investigated by the Entertainment Commission, with inspectors confirming that businesses were compliant with permit conditions at the time of inspection. The property has also faced some neighborhood challenges, as evidenced by multiple reports of street cleaning issues, including incidents of human waste, and one bicycle parking complaint, all of which were resolved by appropriate agencies. Fire safety records show two incidents: one was a false alarm and the other was an unintentional smoke detector activation, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance and improvement history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly in the commercial space, while also adhering to safety requirements such as the installation of fire-rated windows.

Risk rating

How 1435-1439 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

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 239 are predicted to be safer.
