Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2156-2158 Grove Street in Park North, owned by Aguinaldo Nieva V, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1926. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades over the past 15 years, with the most recent being a sewer line replacement in April 2023 and water service main replacement in October 2020. Electrical improvements include the installation of a dedicated EV charger line in February 2023, demonstrating modernization efforts by the property owner. Historical maintenance records show a notable heating system upgrade in 2008 for unit 2158, where an old gas heating system was replaced with a new forced air gas furnace and duct work.

The building's location has experienced several municipal service calls in recent years, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple incidents of driveway blocking requiring parking enforcement intervention, five such cases recorded between January and December 2024 alone. There have also been instances of street cleaning needs, including addressing garbage, debris, and waste on the street and sidewalk areas in 2022-2024. While these exterior maintenance issues have been consistently resolved by city services, they primarily affect the public right-of-way rather than the building's internal conditions. The property's maintenance record shows regular updates to essential systems, suggesting proactive property management from the owner.

Risk rating

How 2156-2158 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 C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
