Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1028-1030 Wisconsin Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Arnaud Grunwald, was constructed in 2012 with two dwelling units. The construction process, which began in 2004 with a significant $580,000 investment, faced several challenges including multiple permit renewals and inspections between 2004 and 2014, particularly regarding electrical work that involved extensive installations of panels, lights, switches, and circuits. Of particular concern were several building complaints and a violation in 2006-2007 related to sewage issues, with reports of leaks affecting neighboring properties that took several months to abate, and complaints about unauthorized construction of decks.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal parking and sidewalk obstruction in recent years, with multiple 311 calls between 2022 and 2024 regarding vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though many of these cases were resolved through citations or officer response. There were also some minor sanitation issues recorded through 311 calls, including graffiti in 2022 and general street cleaning needs in 2021-2019. The building's permit history shows diligent completion of required inspections and renewals, with all major construction permits and associated inspections eventually being resolved as complete, though with notable delays and multiple renewals along the way.

Risk rating

How 1028-1030 Wisconsin 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.
