Initial analysis

This three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 1641-1645 Grove Street in the Park North neighborhood was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Suskind-Petersen Living Trust. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with major work occurring between 2017 and 2022, including comprehensive electrical rewiring, plumbing upgrades, and the installation of modern safety systems. Notable improvements include a complete rewiring of all three units in 2019, installation of a wet sprinkler system, foundation work, and the addition of a solar panel system in 2022. The building's renovation history shows substantial investment in safety systems, including sprinkler monitoring and a new fire suppression system, though there were some concerning incidents during construction in 2018 regarding potential foundation undermining of neighboring properties, which resulted in permit revocations and a Notice of Violation.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history, most notably in late 2015 when there were multiple complaints about heating problems and rodent infestation, which were eventually resolved by February 2017. There were also concerns about exterior construction work in 2018-2020, including issues with building wrap and rooftop equipment, though these complaints were marked as not active. More recently, the building has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, resulting in multiple parking enforcement calls throughout 2024. Two tenant buyout agreements were recorded for the property: $90,000 for Unit 1645 in October 2016 and $57,246.57 for Unit 1643 in May 2017, with three tenants involved in each case, suggesting significant turnover during that period.

Risk rating

How 1641-1645 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
51th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 391 are predicted to be safer.
