Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 31 Grand View Terrace, owned by Louis Lee 2005 Living Trust, was constructed in 1965 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The property has undergone several noteworthy improvements and faced some maintenance challenges over the years. In 2013, the front of the building received significant attention with an $11,000 project to remove siding, apply new stucco, and address dry rot issues. Earlier renovations included the replacement of a sliding glass door unit in 2006 and reroofing work in 1998, though the latter permit has expired. A concerning complaint was filed in April 2017 regarding extensive unpermitted work involving jackhammering and demolition, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

Recent maintenance issues have included an attempted electrical upgrade in 2017 to replace a vent fan and switch, though this permit was ultimately cancelled. The building has experienced some environmental challenges, with a December 2022 report noting collapsed sidewalk conditions due to sunken utility vault covers, though this was resolved through PG&E intervention. Parking-related issues have been quite frequent, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways, including three separate incidents in 2020 alone. More recent parking enforcement actions occurred throughout 2023-2024, indicating ongoing challenges with street parking in the area. The property has also required tree maintenance, with a request for pruning of an overgrown tree in February 2019, though this was determined to be outside the jurisdiction of Public Works as it involved private property.

Risk rating

How 31 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
