Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story apartment building at 126 Grand View Ave, constructed in 1959 and currently owned by Eric Oliver Mack, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past two decades. Most notably, there are currently active concerns regarding fire safety from January 2019, including issues with fire proofing, improper storage of combustible materials, and garbage receptacle placement. The building has a documented history of addressing water and structural issues, with multiple dry rot repairs completed in 2000, including work on the facade and south side of the building, though one of these permits expired without completion. A kitchen remodel was undertaken in 2001, followed by a roof replacement in 2010 costing $10,900.

More recent interior issues have been documented, including a 2018 ceiling leak, unpermitted work on the living room ceiling/roof, and alleged disturbing of lead-based paint without proper containment measures. While the lead paint violation from early 2019 was marked as not active by January 31, 2019, the building's interior has experienced various maintenance challenges. Historical records show regular maintenance and repair work, including fire safety upgrades such as the 2002 installation of a one-hour fire-rated parapet wall for skylights. The property has also had some parking-related incidents recorded through 311 calls, though these are not directly related to the building's condition.

Risk rating

How 126 Grand View 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
35th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 831 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.

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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.9%
Moderate concern 25.2%
Severe concern 10.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
