1634-1638 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

This three-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1634-1638 Grant Ave in Telegraph Hill, was constructed in 1913 and is owned by Wing Chow Tr. The property has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, most notably a comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodeling project completed in March 2023 at a cost of $67,800, which included electrical work for new lighting, receptacles, and appliances, as well as plumbing updates. Prior improvements include electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2015 involving kitchen and bathroom renovations, and back staircase repairs in 2017, addressing approximately 10-15 treads.

The building had several addressed violations in 2005 related to safety requirements including wood stairs repairs, fire extinguisher provision, and smoke detector installation, all of which were abated by November 2005. Recent tenancy changes include two buyouts: one for $18,100 in November 2021 and another for $68,000 in October 2022, affecting one and two tenants respectively. The property has a history of maintenance and inspection follow-ups, including routine inspections in 2001, 2005, and 2010, with documented issues of peeling paint in 2006.

While there was one recorded cooking-related fire incident with no civilian injuries, there have been no recent fire safety violations. The surrounding area has experienced periodic maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, though these external matters do not directly impact the building's condition. The most recent building improvements and consistent maintenance record, particularly the significant 2023 renovations, suggest active property management and ongoing investment in maintaining the building's infrastructure and systems.
