Initial analysis

743 Grove Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1885. The building has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over the past decades. Most notably, in 2010-2011, the property underwent substantial renovation work including the removal of an unauthorized separate unit, restoration of spaces to their legal configuration, and comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling in one unit, with proper permits obtained for the demolition and associated electrical and plumbing work. In 2014, a complaint investigation revealed unauthorized construction of storage areas in the ground floor/garage level, which led to a Notice of Violation that was subsequently addressed. The building has met several safety and compliance requirements over the years, including a 2018 routine safety inspection, though a 2008 health and safety inspection noted multiple concerns that were later resolved.

The property's maintenance history includes various improvements and repairs, such as the construction of storage rooms in 2014, kitchen renovations, bathroom updates, and electrical/plumbing work in 2010, as well as structural repairs in the 1990s including foundation work and reroofing. A notable fire incident occurred in 1998 requiring kitchen and bathroom repairs in one unit, which were completed. The building has had several routine safety inspections, with all identified issues being addressed through proper permits and repairs. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external matters such as parking enforcement and public works requests, with minimal direct impact on the building's condition or safety systems. The property records indicate that all major complaints and violations have been "Not Active" status, suggesting resolution through appropriate remediation actions.

Risk rating

How 743 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.
