Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 2185-2187 Grove Street in the Park North neighborhood, owned by Ella Marie Matson Tyler Rev, has a mixed maintenance history since its construction in 1923. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements, including a reroofing in 2012 (cost: $6,900), horizontal addition in 1996 (cost: $6,000), and the replacement of two furnaces in 2016. However, the building has faced multiple serious maintenance issues, particularly in 1997-1998, when multiple complaints were filed regarding deteriorating conditions, including problems with windows, waterproofing, wall structure, deck stability, chimney functionality, and water damage affecting floors and ceilings. A 2010 complaint documented mold issues in hallways and around windows, though these were abated within two months. The property has experienced recurring issues with tree root damage affecting the sidewalk, with multiple DPW calls between 2021-2023, though these are primarily exterior concerns.

More recent history has shown relatively fewer serious building issues, with the most recent maintenance work being the 2016 furnace replacement. The building's management has responded to various parking enforcement matters, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking incidents between 2021-2024. The property has had some interaction with the Rent Board, with a customer callback recorded in March 2022, though the specific nature of the inquiry is not detailed in the records. A 321 EMS call was recorded, but no civilian injuries were reported. While the building's permit history suggests routine maintenance and some significant improvements, the earlier complaints from the late 1990s and 2010 indicate that there were more serious building condition concerns in the past, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed at the time.

Risk rating

How 2185-2187 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
81th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 151 are predicted to be safer.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.
