1831 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

1831 Grant Avenue is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1965, comprising 8 units and currently owned by Stephen F. Patterson. The building has undergone significant safety and modernization improvements in recent years, with particular attention to fire safety systems.

In 2023-2024, major upgrades included the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in unit 103, a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade with wireless sounders in sleeping rooms, and a like-for-like system replacement of both the fire alarm and fire sprinkler systems. The building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit (Tier 3) requirements in 2014. The property has experienced substantial recent renovations, particularly in unit 103, including emergency water damage repairs (2020), kitchen and bath remodels (2020), and a significant 360-square-foot addition (2021). A notable fire incident occurred in August 2018, affecting unit 301 and resulting in approximately $30,000 in repairs, though there have been no subsequent fire-related incidents.

The building's infrastructure has been steadily upgraded, with improvements to electrical systems, including new sub-panels and rewiring work in multiple units between 2018 and 2023, and plumbing enhancements including bathroom remodels and fixture replacements across several units. Amenities and infrastructure improvements have been prioritized, including the addition of a laundry and storage room (2020) and various unit-specific renovations. Historical records show routine inspections by housing services from 2001 to 2005, and a blocked exits complaint in 2021 was found to have no merit. The building's ongoing maintenance and upgrade work, particularly focusing on safety systems and unit modernization, suggests active management and investment in the property's infrastructure and resident safety.
