Initial analysis

The property at 669 Grand View Avenue is a two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1974 and owned by Giampaolo Boschetti. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a voluntary fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 ($17,400) to meet current fire code requirements, and a completed soft-story retrofit in 2014 ($156,000) to improve seismic safety. The building has faced notable safety and maintenance challenges, with a cluster of building violations filed in December 2021 regarding mold/mildew issues and water penetration concerns in the lower garage area, which were abated by January 2022. A previous complaint from 2020 indicated unauthorized biotech manufacturing activity in the basement, though this was subsequently resolved.

Historical maintenance records show attention to structural elements, including reroofing in 2002 and deck repairs in 1996. The building has experienced recurring fire safety citations over the years, with multiple infractions related to fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and combustible materials between 2012 and 2018, all of which were corrected. The property achieved compliance with the mandatory soft-story retrofit program (Tier 3) and has received various improvements to its essential systems, including a gas houseline extension in 2022. While the building has a history of maintenance issues, the most recent years show significant investment in safety upgrades and a pattern of timely response to violations.

Risk rating

How 669 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.
