Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 2046-2048 Grove Street in the Park North neighborhood, was built in 1925 and is currently owned by Andrew Robert Solari and Alis. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most notable recent work being the replacement of four street-facing windows in 2019, completed at a cost of $14,000 across two permits, which was initiated in response to building violations. These violations, filed in May 2019, included issues with walls, fire safety ratings, floor coverings, and required building permits, all of which were resolved by September 2019. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with a sewer replacement completed in 2013 and a reroofing project valued at $10,000 in 2010.

The property has generally been well-maintained in terms of major systems, though there have been some recurring issues noted in recent months. Of particular note are multiple reports of graffiti on fire police call boxes (July and March 2024), some ongoing concerns about trees (overgrown and fallen, September 2024), and various street-related issues such as illegal parking and waste management (2023-2024). While these recent incidents primarily involve external environmental factors rather than structural or safety concerns with the building itself, they may affect the general neighborhood experience.

Risk rating

How 2046-2048 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
86th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 are predicted to be safer.
