555-557 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The two-story multi-family residential building at 555-557 Grove Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Hayes Valley Properties LLC, was constructed in 1900 and contains 6 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent major work occurring in 2022 when electrical system upgrades were performed in all five remaining units, including new subpanels and GFCI installations in kitchens and bathrooms.

In 2016, there was a complaint regarding mold in bedrooms and on various surfaces, and in 2013, there was an investigation of unpermitted renovations including siding changes and plumbing modifications. The building faced multiple violations in 2007 related to heating, fire safety, balcony repairs, and window issues, which were ultimately abated by July 2007. Earlier concerns included inadequate heating and various maintenance issues detailed in a 2007 complaint, along with a 1996 incident involving sewage overflow.

Recent activity at the site has primarily involved external matters, with numerous 311 calls in late 2024 related to parking enforcement for blocked driveways, though these do not reflect on the building's internal conditions. The property has recorded two minor fire-related incidents, neither resulting in civilian injuries, and has undergone various electrical upgrades and repairs over the years, including balcony repairs for units 2 and 3 in 2007 ($15,000 total) and various structural improvements. The building's maintenance history shows periodic responses to both routine and emergency situations, with most documented issues having been addressed through appropriate permits and inspections, though some historical problems like the mold complaint from 2016 remain notable in the building's history.
