Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 765-769 Grove Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Pace Family Trust, was constructed in 1900 and is categorized as a Flats & Duplex building with three stories. The property's maintenance record shows a reroofing project completed in 2009 at a cost of $14,629. The most significant cluster of building violations occurred in October 2008, when a routine safety inspection identified multiple fire and security issues, including concerns with sleeping room security bars, fire extinguisher maintenance, deadlatch locks, and exterior door self-closing devices. These violations were promptly addressed and abated within eight days, by October 15, 2008.

The building has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, including those in 2001, 2011, and 2018. Two notable complaints from 1997 reported health and safety concerns, including issues with dumpsters, stair rail stability, pests, and an unsafe back porch, though these were all resolved within a few months. Recently, there has been a pattern of parking and street cleaning issues near the property, with multiple 311 calls regarding defaced signs and blocked driveways between 2022 and 2025. The only recorded fire incident was a smoke detector activation with no reported fire or civilian injuries. The building's inspection and violation history indicates that while there have been various maintenance and safety issues over time, these have generally been addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 765-769 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.

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.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 50.6%
Moderate concern 18.9%
Severe concern 30.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
