Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story apartment building at 572-574 Grove Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Daniel B Mahoney Living Trust, was constructed in 1904 and has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime. The most substantial recent improvements occurred in 2011, including a comprehensive kitchen update in the lower unit ($12,000) with electrical upgrades, new fixtures, and safety compliance to address various fire and electrical concerns. The building's electrical system received a major upgrade in 2011, with new 200-amp service installed along with five meters and sub-panels. A notable cluster of building violations was documented in May 2007, primarily related to plumbing, fire safety, and building identification issues, though these were all resolved by June 2007. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic systems, including reroofing work completed in 2004, window replacement in 1992, and kitchen renovations in 1988.

More recent history (2017 onwards) shows some concerns, including a complaint in September 2017 regarding plumbing, electrical, and mold issues, though this case was marked as not active without clear resolution details. The property has been subject to multiple street cleaning and sanitation issues in the surrounding area, particularly in early 2024, with numerous reports of debris, waste, and encampments, though these external issues are not directly related to building conditions. The building has experienced three documented fire department responses since 2011, all of which were routine assists with no injuries reported. Regular housing inspections have been conducted, including a routine inspection in 2011 and earlier in 2001, suggesting ongoing oversight of building conditions.

Risk rating

How 572-574 Grove St'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 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 688 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 37.6%
Moderate concern 17.2%
Severe concern 45.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
