Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 278 Granada Ave in the Ingleside neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925, currently owned by Sst Investments LLC. The building underwent significant renovation in 2007, when permits were issued and completed for a substantial $550,000 project that included vertical and horizontal additions, interior remodeling, and the accommodation of an additional unit with parking modifications. This comprehensive renovation added new living spaces including a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom on both the first and second floors, along with new outdoor features like a patio and deck.

However, the construction period between late 2008 and early 2009 was marked by several complaints and compliance issues, all of which were subsequently resolved. These complaints included reports of unauthorized construction work that appeared to exceed the scope of the original permit, specifically regarding concerns about a purported unpermitted third floor addition. Additionally, there were temporary parking-related issues in March 2009 related to concrete work on the sidewalk and lack of street space permits. The only other recorded building maintenance work was a reroofing project completed in 2006, prior to the major renovations. While the building has had its share of construction-related challenges, it appears the issues were addressed promptly and resolved within short timeframes, as indicated by the "Not Active" status of all complaints.

Risk rating

How 278 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.
