Initial analysis

The property at 229-231 Grand View Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1951, currently owned by the Robert Knight Morgan Jr Rev trust. The building's most significant recent history centers around a series of violations and repairs in 2014 involving the rear balcony, which had experienced dry rot and structural concerns. These issues were serious enough to prompt multiple notices of violation in March 2014, with one complaint specifically highlighting safety concerns due to dilapidated rear patios that were reportedly almost collapsing, following a previous incident where a top-floor patio had collapsed onto the first floor. The violation monitoring led to the issuance of a $7,500 permit for dry rot repairs to the rear balcony, and while these violations were marked as not active and abated by May 19, 2014, they represented a significant safety concern at the time.

More recently, the property has had various infrastructure and maintenance issues in 2024, including multiple reports of water leaks and sewer problems on October 9, which were addressed promptly by SFWD. There have also been ongoing concerns in the vicinity of the property, including multiple reports of defaced MTA parking signs, illegal parking, and excessive noise, with one noise complaint filed on October 9, 2024, still listed as open. The building and its surroundings have experienced several instances of graffiti and illegal postings in 2024, with various cases being processed through city services, though these are primarily external issues rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 229-231 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
85th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 192 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.0%
Moderate concern 12.7%
Severe concern 6.2%
