Initial analysis

This three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 633 Grand View Ave in Noe Valley was constructed in 1962 and is currently owned by Kathleen E. Frendo 2014 Revo. The building has experienced several significant structural and safety issues over the years, with the most pressing concerns focusing on fire safety and structural integrity. Most notably, a series of active violations from March 2003 remains unresolved, including required repairs to stairs, smoke enclosure door closers, smoke detection systems, fire escape drop ladder, weather proofing on siding, and installation of a fire extinguisher. In 2018, serious concerns were raised about a deteriorating wood retaining wall at the rear of the property, which was documented in multiple complaints about its dangerous condition and its impact on neighboring property. A permit was finally obtained and completed in 2019 for a new concrete retaining wall at the rear, costing $10,000, to address this hazardous condition.

The building's record includes various maintenance and repair work, including a backyard wood stair repair in 2003 and a reroofing project in 1999. More recent history shows several routine incidents typical of urban living, including issues with parking, noise complaints, and street cleaning matters, though none of these present serious concerns about the building's condition or safety. Two fire-related incidents were recorded, but both were false alarms with no injuries reported. While there have been multiple building complaints and inspection requests in recent years (with the most recent complaint in 2020), many of these were routine in nature, such as noise complaints related to construction work and general maintenance issues. The property has undergone some structural improvements, as evidenced by the completion of the retaining wall project in 2019, but the unresolved 2003 violations suggest there may still be outstanding safety concerns that need addressing, particularly in relation to fire safety systems.

Risk rating

How 633 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
42th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1090 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.0%
Moderate concern 18.7%
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.
