Initial analysis

The three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 2000 Grove Street in Park North, owned by Wolf Family 1998 Trust, has undergone significant improvements and modifications since its construction in 1925. Most notably, the property completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit work as a Tier 3 building, and followed through with substantial safety upgrades including the installation of a fire sprinkler system (2021), fire alarm system upgrade (2022), and various unit remodels. The building has seen comprehensive unit renovations in 2020-2021, including electrical upgrades, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and insulation improvements in Units 2, 4, and 6. A new heating system with split AC units was installed in 2020-2024, though recent permits indicate ongoing HVAC upgrades including a new heat pump system for an ADU unit in 2024.

The building has experienced several issues requiring attention over the years, most of which have been resolved. These include past violations related to fire safety equipment, gas meter instructions, and a 2020 complaint about back stairs with dry rot. The property underwent a routine safety inspection in 2017 and faced multiple boiler permit compliance issues between 2011-2021, all of which were subsequently addressed. The addition of two ADU units was completed according to city regulations, and the building's fire safety systems have been actively maintained, with recent inspections showing compliance. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2020, with one tenant receiving $109,087.92. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with only two recorded activations between 2016-2023, none resulting in injuries or damage. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street-level issues rather than building-specific concerns, and parking-related complaints have been addressed through normal enforcement channels.

Risk rating

How 2000 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
