Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 919 Grove Street in Alamo Square, owned by the Fannie Sullivan Living Trust, is a 1939 two-story flats/duplex structure that has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. The most recent renovation, completed in July 2024, involved a comprehensive bathroom remodeling project that included new tile work, shower installation, vanity and toilet replacement, along with associated electrical and plumbing updates, with a total cost of approximately $20,500. Prior improvements include a roofing project completed in 2013 ($11,540) and the installation of a new 40-gallon water heater in 2019 that brought the system up to code.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly regarding blocked driveways, with eight documented incidents between March 2023 and August 2024. Most of these cases were resolved through citations, though two cases (October 2023 and November 2022) were deemed invalid due to incomplete reporting information. Other reported issues include illegal postings (June 2024) and instances requiring street cleaning for waste removal (October 2022), as well as graffiti removal from a street lamp (January 2022). The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of essential systems, with all permitted work being completed as recorded.

Risk rating

How 919 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.
