822 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 822 Grove Street, owned by Victor & Farah Makras, was constructed in 1963 and is located in the Alamo Square neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in September 2023 that included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current fire code requirements.

Prior fire safety improvements include a fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 and the correction of alarm system issues following a complaint in 2022. The building has received regular maintenance, including a roof replacement project completed in 2015 at a cost of $12,800, though earlier roofing permits from 1989 and 1995 had expired. The building has experienced multiple routine safety inspections over the years, with a notable cluster of fire safety violations in 2008 involving fire extinguishers, fire escape ladders, and garbage receptacle issues - all of which were promptly abated within three weeks.

A similar fire escape ladder violation was recorded in 2023 but was addressed by May 2023. While there have been occasional maintenance and safety issues, including a blocked exit complaint in 2016 and various fire safety-related concerns, the property has generally responded promptly to violations and complaints. Recent activity at the address (2024-2025) primarily consists of parking enforcement issues, including multiple citations for driveway blocking, indicating ongoing challenges with street parking in the area.
