         The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to the previously
         filed Schedule 13D is to report that Grandview Partners,
         L.P. (the "Partnership") and Sven B. Karlen, Jr.
         (together, the "Reporting Persons") are no longer
         greater than five percent beneficial owners in the
         common stock (the "Shares") of Davel Communications
         Group, Inc. (the "Issuer").

Item 1.  Security and Issuer

         No change.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

         This statement is being filed on behalf of the
         Partnership and Mr. Karlen.  Mr. Karlen is the sole
         general partner of the Partnership, is the sole managing
         general partner of Svenvest Partners, L.P. and exercises
         investment discretion over a managed account.  The
         address of the Partnership and Mr. Karlen is Two
         International Place, 24th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts,
         02110.  

         Neither of the Reporting Persons has, during the last
         five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding.
         Neither of the Reporting Persons has, during the last
         five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a
         judicial or administrative body of competent
         jurisdiction which resulted in a judgment, decree or
         final order enjoying future violations of, or
         prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal
         or state securities laws or finding any violations with
         respect to such laws.

         Mr. Karlen is a citizen of the United States of America.
         Grandview Partners, L.P. is a New York limited
         partnership.

         of the Shares were purchased in open market transactions
         for an aggregate purchase price of $211,500.  The funds
         for the purchase of the Shares held by the Partnership

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

         No change.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         As of the date hereof, the Partnership owns 40,000
         Shares.  Based on the Issuer's filing on Form 10-Q on
         August 14, 1998, as of August 13, 1998 there were
         5,772,209 Shares outstanding.  Therefore, the
         Partnership owns and Mr. Karlen is deemed to
         beneficially own 0.7% of the outstanding Shares.  The
         Reporting Persons have the shared power to vote, direct
         the vote, dispose of or direct the disposition of all
         the Shares that they are deemed to beneficially own.
         All transactions in the Shares effected by the Reporting
         Persons since the last filing on Schedule 13D were
         effected in open-market transactions and are set forth
         in Exhibit B hereto.

         As of March 16, 1998, the Reporting Persons were no
         longer greater than five percent beneficial owners of
         the Shares.  The Reporting Persons inadvertently did not
         file prior amendments to Schedule 13D.  The transactions
         effected since the last Schedule 13D filing are listed
         herein as Exhibit B.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
         Relationships with Respect to Securities of
         the Issuer

         No change.

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits

         1.   An agreement relating to the filing of a joint
              statement as required by Rule 13D-1(f) under the
              Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is filed herewith
              as Exhibit A.

         2.   Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a description of
              the transactions in the Shares that were effected
              by the Reporting Person from August 23, 1995, but
              were inadvertently unreported through the date of
              this filing.
