Initial analysis

The property at 1377-1379 Grove Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Park North neighborhood, owned by Angela Brown and constructed in 1907. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months, with multiple active violations filed in May 2024 related to water damage, mold/mildew, and lead paint hazards. These violations were documented in connection with a complaint about persistent water leakage in the second-floor bedroom and kitchen areas, which the tenant reported had been ongoing for seven years and four years respectively. The building's systems have undergone various updates over the years, including a furnace upgrade in 2021, water heater installation in 2019, and sewer line replacement in 2019, though some of these permits have expired. Historical records from 2007 show installation of a garage door opener.

The property has experienced multiple fire department responses, though these were primarily for smoke detector activations without fire and one public service incident, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent municipal service calls in late 2024 have primarily related to parking enforcement issues and some instances of graffiti on street poles, as well as multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring street and sidewalk cleaning. The building's current active violations, filed in May 2024, carry particular significance due to their potential impact on resident health and safety, including concerns about water damage, mold, and lead hazards, with final warning letters issued in July 2024.

Risk rating

How 1377-1379 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.
