Initial analysis

Situated in Telegraph Hill, 1336-1348 Grant Avenue is a 3-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Yick Realty Investment. The property completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (classified as Tier 4) with improvements including a new shear wall, and associated revisions, totaling approximately $73,000. Recent maintenance work includes a reroofing project completed in October 2023 costing $29,550. The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, with multiple fire safety inspections between 2006-2023 noting issues with alarm systems, blocked exits, and sprinkler/standpipe systems, though most were resolved promptly with proper corrections made. A significant cluster of housing violations was documented in July 2005, including issues with stair repairs and smoke detector placements, which were all abated by November 2006. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including a 5" cast iron housetrap installation in 2007 and wheelchair lift installation in 2003, while also receiving multiple approvals for retail and grocery uses under North Beach NCD regulations, indicating its mixed-use nature. Recent 311 calls from 2021-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti, garbage, and sidewalk clearance matters, with all cases being resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 1336-1348 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
