Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 248 Bonview Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Hjelm Lauri Grasset Frederi, has a notable history dating back to its 1914 construction. The building underwent several significant modifications in the late 1990s, including the addition of a new deck valued at $45,000 in 1998, and subsequent permits for sheet rock, plumbing, and electrical work in 2001. A more recent and substantial improvement was completed in 2020, when a 5.94 kW solar panel system with a new subpanel was installed. The building has experienced recurring issues with abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, particularly during 2023-2024, with multiple reports logged through MTA and DPT channels, though all cases were resolved promptly, often with vehicles gone upon inspection. A sidewalk defect was reported near the property in July 2023, though no conditions warranting action were found. Most recently, in June 2024, there was a tenant buyout at the adjacent address (250 Bonview Street) involving one tenant and a compensation amount of $6,000.

Risk rating

How 248 Bonview St'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 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 1008 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.6%
Moderate concern 32.0%
Severe concern 14.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
