Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1850 Grove Street in Park North, owned by the Dai Shek Yee Qtip Trust, was constructed in 1925 and has undergone several notable maintenance and improvement projects over the years. The most recent significant renovation occurred in September 2017, involving comprehensive updates to Unit #2's kitchen, including new sink, cabinets, countertop, and electrical subpanel installation, with associated plumbing and electrical permits properly filed and completed. The building has a documented history of addressing structural and safety concerns, including fungus damage repairs to front window overhangs in 2002 and various stairway repairs and safety improvements.

The property experienced a major cluster of building violations in March 2002, primarily related to interior surfaces, fire safety, and lead paint concerns, including issues with handrails, damaged paint, and the need for fire extinguisher maintenance - all of which were successfully abated by May 2002. The building has undergone regular safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2010, 2012, and 2017, with no active violations recorded from these inspections. More recent activity around the building has mainly consisted of external issues, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls for blocked driveways between 2022 and 2023, and occasional reports of encampments in the vicinity, with the most recent complaints occurring in September 2023. A historical complaint from 1998 about paint conditions in one unit was promptly addressed within three weeks.

Risk rating

How 1850 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 502 are predicted to be safer.
