Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1315-1321 Grove Street, owned by Fernando Moreno & Greta S G, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since 2013, with particular focus on unit upgrades and safety enhancements. The most substantial work occurred between 2014-2015, when the basement was converted into a new 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit (October 2014), followed by comprehensive renovations to multiple units including bath and kitchen remodels, and the installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout the basement. Building systems have been systematically upgraded, including electrical service improvements (September 2014), multiple new furnace installations, and gas line work. The building's safety profile has been notably enhanced, with a routine safety inspection in December 2018 showing no active violations, and historical issues from 2002 such as fire escape maintenance and interior surface problems having been resolved.

Recent maintenance and neighborhood conditions show continued attention to building upkeep, with recent 311 calls primarily relating to external issues such as street cleaning and graffiti (October 2023), rather than building-specific problems. There was a concerning tenant complaint in January 2013 regarding heat, mold, plumbing issues, and lack of smoke alarms in one unit, though records show this was addressed by March 2013. The property has maintained compliance with current regulations, including a successful change of use application to convert from a 3-family to a 4-family dwelling in 2014, and has not experienced any fire incidents requiring emergency response beyond a single carbon monoxide detector activation with no CO present. Recent street-level activity has included multiple encampment reports and sanitation issues in the vicinity, as documented through 311 calls from 2023-2024, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1315-1321 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, 550 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.4%
Moderate concern 21.6%
Severe concern 22.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
