Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 817 Grove Street in Alamo Square, owned by the Fleischmann Family Trust, was constructed in 1890 and has undergone various maintenance and repair works over the decades. Notable historical improvements include a roof replacement in 1998, removal of added walls and dropped ceiling in 1990, and facade restoration efforts in 1984. The most recent significant building systems upgrade was a water heater replacement in 2015. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations on Grove Street, particularly with vehicles blocking driveways, resulting in multiple enforcement actions between 2020 and 2022. There have been two documented sidewalk-related issues in recent years: an open sidewalk defect report from July 2024 regarding lifted sidewalk conditions, and a street space permit issued in January 2019. A sewer-related incident was recorded in November 2019 involving a backup situation that was subsequently addressed. Recent environmental concerns include a November 2024 report of human waste or urine that was closed as requiring no further action. The building's permit history shows attention to maintaining basic infrastructure, with the most recent permits generally focusing on small-scale repairs and maintenance rather than major modifications.

Risk rating

How 817 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.
