Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1654-1658 Grove Street in the Park North neighborhood, owned by the Daisy A Nolan Family Trust, has a lengthy history of maintenance and safety issues dating back to 1994. Most notably, the building experienced a cluster of violations in May 2008 that required attention to multiple safety concerns, including the installation of handrails on rear stairways, self-closing devices on side passage doors, and the maintenance of fire extinguishers. There was also a significant fire safety violation in October 2009 regarding combustible storage, though this was addressed by February 2010. The building's history includes several concerning patterns, such as multiple reports of possible illegal units (1994 and 2007), water intrusion issues (2004), and a recent complaint in 2022 regarding improper disposal of paint in the backyard.

Recent years have seen ongoing maintenance and safety concerns, particularly surface issues with garbage and debris as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2025, including reports of illegal parking and encampments in the vicinity. While many of the historical violations have been marked as "Not Active," the building continues to show patterns of maintenance challenges, particularly related to waste management as evidenced by the frequency of 311 calls regarding garbage and debris. The most recent documented inspection was a routine safety check in 2017, and while there have been multiple 311 reports about the property, these have generally been for non-structural issues such as parking violations and street cleaning matters.

Risk rating

How 1654-1658 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.

Neighborhood percentile
