Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1565-1571 Grove Street was constructed in 1906 and contains four units. The property has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over recent years, with particular attention paid to safety systems. Major upgrades include the installation of a complete fire sprinkler system in 2016 ($4,500) and subsequent monitoring system improvements in 2017, as well as soundproof insulation and fire-rated wall repairs in 2019. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2014-2016 in response to several code violations, including mold issues, water damage, and various building maintenance concerns, all of which were successfully abated by July 2016. These improvements included new plumbing systems, bathroom and kitchen updates, and window replacements in units 1565 and 1571.

Recent enhancements to the property include the addition of a roof deck with barbecue facilities in 2019, complete with new electrical and gas services. The building's electrical and plumbing systems have received comprehensive upgrades, with new wiring and plumbing installations documented in multiple permits from 2016-2019. A notable construction-related complaint from 2016 regarding debris disposal practices was recorded but has since been resolved. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, with multiple citations for blocked driveways documented between 2018-2024, though these are external to the building's condition. Planning records show the property is currently approved for ABC Type 17, 20 licensing as an accessory use to the dwelling units. A proposed fourth-floor addition was discussed but remains unmentioned in final approvals, suggesting it may not have proceeded. While the building has undergone periodic maintenance and improvements over the years, no active violations or recent complaints regarding building conditions have been recorded, indicating generally satisfactory maintenance of the property.

Risk rating

How 1565-1571 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 414 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.1%
Moderate concern 14.9%
Severe concern 17.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
