Initial analysis

244 Grattan St is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964, currently owned by United Peace LLC and located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (cost: $45,000) and a reroofing project in 2022 (cost: $15,800). A major fire safety upgrade was recently initiated in July 2023, involving modifications to the fire alarm system including a new fire panel and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current safety standards. Residential unit improvements have been carried out over the years, including bathroom remodeling in Units 5 and 2 (completed in 2015 and 2008 respectively), with associated plumbing and electrical work.

The building's maintenance and compliance history shows attention to both safety and resident comfort, with all major mandated improvements being completed appropriately, including the soft-story retrofit program under San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The property has had two routine housing inspections (2003 and 2009) recorded under Housing Inspection Services, though no significant issues appear to have been documented. While there have been multiple 311 calls related to parking issues and street cleaning in the vicinity between 2018 and 2024, these are external to the building itself and do not directly impact resident conditions. The most recent building improvements and regular maintenance schedules suggest active management and upkeep of the property, with no recent major complaints or violations on record.

Risk rating

How 244 Grattan St'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
51th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 258 are predicted to be safer.
