1350-1398 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 1350-1398 Grant Avenue property is a 3-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907, containing 12 residential units plus commercial space located in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably completing mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2022 at a cost of $120,000, which enhanced both the residential and commercial portions of the building's structural safety. Recent accessibility improvements were completed in 2023, including the installation of ramps and automatic door openers to comply with the Accessible Business Entrance program, demonstrating ongoing commitment to maintaining building code compliance.

The property has experienced recurring issues with vacancy and maintenance, particularly in its commercial spaces. Multiple vacant storefront violations were recorded between 2018 and 2023, with the most recent complaint in February 2023 regarding an empty store next to a ramen shop. In 2021, several complaints were filed regarding blight, including reports of debris, human waste, and an unsecured door on the abandoned ramen restaurant.

Historical records show building violations in 2005-2006 related to fire safety, emergency access, and smoke detection systems, though these were subsequently abated. Infrastructure improvements include a substantial electrical upgrade completed in 2013 to 400-amp service, serving 8 residential and 3 commercial meters. The property has also generated numerous 311 calls in recent months primarily related to blocked sidewalks, though these are not directly related to building conditions.
