544-546 Grant Ave, San Francisco, CA 94108

The property at 544-546 Grant Avenue is a three-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently housing three units under the ownership of Chan Tong LLC. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, most notably a seismic upgrade in 2001 costing $45,000 to address its unreinforced masonry construction, followed by modifications in 2002 that expanded the unit count from one to three.

In 2004, accessibility improvements were completed including toilet upgrades and stair handrail additions. Historical records show earlier improvements including a reroofing project in 1994 and construction of roof storage in 1984, while a proposed project for an aluminum and glass structure in 1985 was cancelled. The building has faced some recent maintenance and compliance issues, with a notable complaint filed in April 2022 regarding unauthorized installation of metal roll-down gates that violated planning regulations.

More concerning is the pattern of environmental issues documented through 311 calls throughout 2023 and 2024, with multiple reports of human waste, garbage, and debris near the property, including an open graffiti case from October 2023. Between July 2023 and July 2024, there were recurring issues with street cleaning, overflowing city garbage cans, and other sanitation concerns in the vicinity of the building. Some of these external maintenance challenges appear to have been sufficiently addressed, as indicated by "Closed Case Resolved" statuses, though the ongoing graffiti issue remains open as of October 2023.
