1309-1311 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building at 1309-1311 Grant Avenue in Telegraph Hill was constructed in 1907 and is currently owned by the Gogna Family Residual Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over its history, with particular attention required in 2004 when multiple violations were recorded related to fire safety, smoke detection, and building conditions, including issues with non-working smoke detectors, garbage accumulation, pest problems, and insufficient electrical outlets. These violations were all abated within a week of being filed.

More recent concerns include a series of fire safety-related complaints between 2021-2024, with issues ranging from blocked exits to operating without a permit, though most were resolved promptly with corrective actions taken. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, including a roof replacement in 1993 and plumbing work in 2012 (sewer repair) and 2014 (installation of a 3-compartment sink). The property has experienced recent activity primarily related to sidewalk access and public space maintenance, with multiple reports in early 2025 regarding blocked sidewalks by scooters and various sanitation issues.

Planning records indicate the property has operated as a restaurant (Ristorante Ideale) with multiple ABC license changes between Type 41 and Type 47, demonstrating an ongoing food service operation that has maintained its legacy business status. While the building has had periodic violations and complaints, particularly related to fire safety and shared space issues, most have been addressed promptly. The property's recent history shows a mix of routine maintenance issues, restaurant-related licensing matters, and external public space concerns, with relatively few serious building code violations in recent years compared to earlier periods.
