AI summary

272 Grand View Avenue is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1988 and currently owned by the Edward J Mullins By-pass Trust. The property has experienced a consistent pattern of driveway blockage incidents over the past two years, with parking enforcement issuing citations for blocked driveways on eight separate occasions between 2022 and 2024, including recent incidents in February 2024 involving vehicles such as a Toyota Prius, a Honda, and a Toyota Camry. While most of these cases were successfully resolved through citation issuance, one complaint from February 2024 was deemed invalid due to incomplete reporting information.

The building's maintenance and safety record shows minimal issues, with one notable incident involving the sprinkler/standpipe system reported in August 2022, which was resolved by January 2023. Additional records indicate routine municipal services, including the removal of an abandoned Christmas tree in February 2023. The property's planning records show two closed cases with no developer involvement or significant changes noted. The historical data reveals no tenant buyouts or other major resident-impacting events on record, though it should be noted that records may not capture every detail of the building's history.

Risk rating

How 272 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
48th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 977 are predicted to be safer.
