Initial analysis

The property at 15 Grand View Terrace is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1959 and currently owned by the Rose L Chew Living Trust, the building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2016 when second exits wood balconies at the 2nd and 3rd floors were repaired, along with rebuilding existing stairs at the rear of the building, at a cost of $28,000. The building's history shows recurring issues with balconies and stairs, including earlier projects in 2002-2003 addressing fungus damage in the front balconies and repairs to exterior stairs, which had previously been the subject of violations in 2003 requiring correction of the fire escape drop ladder and other safety concerns.

The building has faced various safety-related citations over the years, particularly in 2003 and 2011, including fire escape maintenance issues, exterior stairs repairs, and the need for smoke detectors. A 2009 complaint regarding unauthorized bathroom and kitchen remodeling was quickly addressed and closed the same day. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved parking enforcement matters, with the most recent incident in February 2023. Historical improvements to the building include multiple roofing projects in 2001-2002 and the addition of vinyl siding in 1989. The property has undergone routine inspections and has generally complied with required repairs, though there have been recurring issues with stair and balcony maintenance that suggest this remains an area requiring ongoing attention.

Risk rating

How 15 Grand View Ter'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
44th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 716 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.1%
Moderate concern 21.8%
Severe concern 22.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
