472-476 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The property at 472-476 Grove Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Vu Hoang Nguyen and Dao To Tr. The building underwent significant modifications in 2006-2007, including the conversion of an existing garage into a wall and skin care spa (completed at a cost of $30,000), followed by substantial interior improvements including the installation of hand sinks, plumbing modifications, and electrical upgrades.

These renovations were generally focused on the commercial portion of the building and were properly permitted and completed. Recent history shows several maintenance and cleanliness issues in 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris (July 2024), recurring graffiti on the sidewalk (March 2024), and various street cleaning matters. There have been three reported driveway blocking incidents between December 2024 and October 2024, with one case requiring enforcement action.

A building modification in 2007 included the removal of one sink and installation of a new hallway door, while a brushed aluminum sign was permitted in 2008. There was also one electrical incident recorded in the building's history involving wiring/equipment issues, though no civilian injuries were reported. The property has been subject to various tenancies over the years, with tenant buyout inquiries noted at 470 Grove Street, but no completed transactions are on record for this address.
