Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 931-933 Grove Street, constructed in 1948 and currently owned by the Mary Doris James Irrevocable Trust, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work over the past several years. The property underwent substantial interior improvements in 2020, including complete remodeling of kitchens and bathrooms in both units, with an investment of $150,000. This comprehensive update was accompanied by electrical system upgrades, including new panels and rewiring of both units' kitchens and bathrooms, and plumbing modifications. Recent exterior work was completed in 2021 with the replacement of four front windows and the garage door, along with selective stucco repairs and repainting, at a cost of approximately $21,000.

More recently, in late 2022 through 2023, the building received additional electrical upgrades, including the installation of various fixtures and safety equipment in Unit 933, such as lights, switches, fans, and smoke detectors, along with an electrical panel upgrade. There have been some maintenance issues documented in the building's history, including a 2011 complaint regarding overgrown trees in the backyard, which was promptly addressed. The property's record also shows multiple street cleaning service calls in early 2021, primarily related to waste removal on public property, though these were not directly related to the building's condition or management. Planning records indicate several permit applications for various improvements over the years, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property, including addressing dry rot issues in both the windows and underlying framing.

Risk rating

How 931-933 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.
