Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 151 Granada Avenue in the Ingleside neighborhood is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1921, currently owned by the Ping Chow Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past decades, with the most substantial being a 2021 vinyl shake siding replacement project that covered the entire building, completed under a renewed permit originally issued in 2010. Additional historical work includes a reroofing project in 1995, repair of dry rot at the front wall in 1987, and its original classification as a flats building in 1982. The building has experienced three fire-related incidents in recent years, with a concerning electrical systems complaint in 2023 that was resolved but may indicate potential infrastructure vulnerabilities, and an unrelated unlicensed auto repair complaint in 2021 determined to have no merit.

Recent activity around the property has been notable for multiple parking enforcement issues, particularly between August and December 2024, with several citations issued for sidewalk parking and driveway blocking. There were also two public works service requests in late 2024, one related to street cleaning and another for general services, though one was redirected to the Department of Public Transportation. A July 2024 fire complaint remains unresolved in terms of its final disposition, as it was referred to the Department of Building Inspection. While the building's major systems and exterior elements have received regular maintenance and updating, including the recent siding replacement, the clustering of recent parking enforcement issues and the recent fire safety complaints suggest ongoing challenges in the property's immediate vicinity and building systems, respectively.

Risk rating

How 151 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

Out of 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 20 are predicted to be safer.
