1019-1029 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94133

The 1019-1029 Grant Avenue property, owned by Yan Grant LLC, is a two-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924 in San Francisco's Financial District North. The building has experienced numerous fire safety-related issues and violations in recent years, most notably with open violations as of September 2024 regarding alarm system maintenance and fire extinguisher service requirements. Recent fire safety upgrades include the installation of low-frequency sounders in October 2023 and a significant fire alarm system upgrade in March 2023, replacing bells with horn strobes and installing new communication systems.

The property has a history of fire safety concerns documented between 2019 and 2024, including multiple fire system violations, blocked exits, and extinguisher issues, though many have been corrected or were found to have no merit upon inspection. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a sewer lateral replacement in 2022, reroofing work in 2012, and various street space permits over the years. Several building complaints have been filed over time, including issues with a problematic basement toilet in 2013 and front door noise complaints in 2011, both of which were resolved.

The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on nearby sidewalks between November 2024 and January 2025, though many were found to require no work. Recent planning records indicate ongoing concerns about unpermitted modifications, specifically related to a solid roll-security gate installation. The building has maintained active communication with city departments regarding various maintenance and compliance issues, though some matters, such as the security gate violation and recent fire system issues, appear to require further resolution.
