Initial analysis

The 1415-1417 Grant Avenue property is a three-story, multi-family residential building with ground-level commercial space, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Kennedy Living Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years, with the most pressing concerns centered around water intrusion and moisture problems. Recent complaints from March 2024 document water pooling under stairs and wall leakage affecting unit occupants, with previous related issues noted in January 2023 about leaks, possible mold, and water intrusion. The building also faced multiple violations in early 2023 related to lighting, wall damage, and lead paint hazards, though these violations are now categorized as "Not active." Historical records show important structural repairs were completed in 1997 to address extensive dry rot and structural members.

The property has undergone some recent permitted improvements, including a planned non-electric projecting sign installation in June 2023, and previously completed kitchen and bathroom renovations. While the building has a history of general maintenance challenges, including multiple 311 calls for street and sidewalk cleaning between 2020-2023, there have been no recent fire safety concerns documented since a 2017 alarm system issue was resolved. The property has also experienced periods of commercial vacancy, with documented inspections in early 2023 noting the status of the ground-level commercial space. Recent complaints and violations primarily appear to center around building maintenance and habitability issues rather than major structural concerns, though historical records indicate past structural problems were addressed.

Risk rating

How 1415-1417 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.
