The building has undergone significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work completed in 2023, including a comprehensive electrical upgrade with 400-amp service and full interior rewiring ($40,000), kitchen cabinet replacement, bathroom renovations, and related plumbing work. Other notable recent updates include a 2021 electrical equipment upgrade and a $45,500 tenant buyout at the adjacent 1675 Grove Street address in late 2022. The property has seen consistent maintenance and improvements over the past two decades, including a 2013 garage upgrade, 2012 kitchen remodel, and various electrical and plumbing improvements.

Risk rating

How 1673 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.
