Initial analysis

The property at 281-283 Granada Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood is a one-story multi-family residential building containing two dwellings on a single parcel. The building underwent significant unauthorized modifications before 2011, including the conversion of storage spaces to separate dwelling units and the installation of various amenities without proper permits. These modifications resulted in a violation notice filed in May 2010, citing numerous code violations related to improper occupancy, including lack of proper light and ventilation, unapproved wiring and plumbing, improper exit conditions, and other concerns, though these violations were officially abated by July 2013.

Since 2011, the property has seen several legitimate improvements, including the legalization of an additional dwelling unit, installation of a fire sprinkler system, electrical upgrades including new service and wiring, and solar panel installation in 2013. More recent maintenance work includes a completed roofing project in 2022 costing $16,000. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and compliance with building codes, though there have been recurring parking-related issues in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2022 and 2024, and one instance of a sidewalk defect reported in December 2022, which was determined to be a minor issue. The property appears to have maintained compliance with building codes since the resolution of the 2010 violations, with no new building violations recorded in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 281-283 Granada 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
53th percentile

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 73 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.6%
Moderate concern 17.1%
Severe concern 10.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
