1044-1046 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The three-story mixed-use building at 1044-1046 Grant Avenue was constructed in 1907 and currently contains three residential units above ground-floor commercial space, owned by Patrick T. Lem and Melody Hom. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a seismic retrofit completed in 2000 (cost: $11,000), reroofing work (though this permit expired), and a storefront renovation in 2010 to replace dilapidated aluminum doors as mandated by the San Francisco Health Department (cost: $3,500).

Historical records show various maintenance and safety improvements, such as compliance with the parapet safety program in 1985 and electrical work in 1983. Recent activities on the property suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and neighborhood interaction. From June 2024 to December 2024, there have been numerous reports (nine documented 311 calls) regarding garbage and debris issues near the property, with specific incidents of waste requiring attention, including one report of human waste or urine (October 2024) and graffiti (August 2024).

Additionally, there are recent planning violations recorded for 1046 Grant Avenue, including an illegal short-term rental case that has been abated and a violation regarding an improperly installed solid roll-security gate. A building complaint from 2008 noted issues with the storefront operation, though this was promptly resolved within three days. The most recent building permit activity consists of two street space permits issued in 2011, each with a nominal cost of $1.00. While the building's core structural and safety systems have been addressed through various historical improvements, recent maintenance issues appear to be primarily related to external conditions rather than the building's structural integrity or major systems.
