500-502 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The multi-family residential building at 500-502 Grove Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900, contains 7 units across 2 stories and is currently managed by Trust A. The building's maintenance history shows several significant electrical upgrades, including a 300-amp emergency service installation in 2011, a 100-amp panel upgrade in 2005, and attempts to install cell site equipment in 2009 (withdrawn).

However, the most pressing concerns for tenant safety are a series of active violations stemming from a 2010 routine safety inspection, including issues with fire safety equipment (such as fire extinguishers and escape ladder), security features (entry door viewers), lead paint hazards, and the central alarm system. The building's recent history includes three fire alarm incidents (none resulting in injuries), and a pattern of maintenance and environmental challenges documented through 311 calls, with multiple reports of graffiti, garbage issues, and an overgrown tree blocking signs reported in 2024-2025.

The property has undergone several routine safety inspections over the years, with the most recent active violations from 2010 remaining unresolved as of the latest available data. While some historical building permits indicate past repairs and upgrades, such as reroofing work completed in 1990, the persistence of certain active violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
