Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1050-1052 Grant Avenue in the Financial District North, owned by Pksk Wong Fmly Partnership, was constructed in 1907 and contains three units above a ground-floor storefront. The building's documented history shows several improvements and maintenance activities over the years, with the most recent significant maintenance occurring in 2015 when multiple fire safety violations were addressed, including issues with fire escape ladder maintenance and fire extinguisher tagging, all of which were abated by July 2015. Earlier improvements included storefront security modifications in 1993 and 1998, as well as sidewalk repairs in 2005 and 2009.

The property has experienced some recurring issues with sidewalk cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 regarding garbage and debris, though most of these cases were resolved without requiring additional action. Planning records indicate a violation related to a solid roll-security gate installation without proper fenestration, though no recent fire incidents with civilian injuries have been reported, and three false alarms or system malfunctions were recorded in the past with no injuries or significant events. The building's overall history shows regular maintenance and prompt resolution of safety violations when they arise, with no active violations or complaints on record as of the current date.

Risk rating

How 1050-1052 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.
