Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 136-138 Grand View Ave, owned by the David E O Rath Trust, has undergone extensive renovations throughout 2024, representing a significant modernization project for this 1939 duplex. The property has received comprehensive updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels on both floors, with particular attention to both units' electrical systems, featuring a 200-amp meter upgrade, new electrical panels, and installation of numerous modern appliances and fixtures. The building's mechanical systems have also been substantially improved with the installation of two new central furnaces and associated plumbing work. Historical records show minimal maintenance history of note, with only one older record from 1997 indicating a reroofing project that has since expired.

The property's external environment has experienced sporadic minor issues as documented through 311 calls, primarily consisting of graffiti incidents in 2022 and 2023, some of which were classified as offensive. There have also been several reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2019 and 2022, though all were resolved promptly, with most vehicles leaving before enforcement arrived. A single report of waste removal was logged in 2020, but no significant recurring issues have been documented in recent years. The extensive renovation work completed in 2024 suggests proactive property management, focusing on improving both unit quality and building systems.

Risk rating

How 136-138 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 13 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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.8%
Moderate concern 6.1%
Severe concern 2.1%
