1436-1440 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1436-1440 Grove Street is a 3-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Andrey and Tatiana Doronichev. The property has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with substantial work occurring between 2015-2017 including a complete interior remodeling of all three units ($150,000), window replacements to address dry rot issues ($50,000), and garage area improvements with voluntary retrofitting ($15,000). The building experienced water damage on the 3rd floor in early 2015, requiring emergency soft demolition work ($5,000), and was subsequently reroofed in 2015 ($27,000).

Historical records show several concerning issues that have since been addressed. In March 2004, the building faced serious structural problems with failing shoring causing hazards to adjacent properties, which remained unresolved until November 2012. Multiple violations were recorded in 2009 related to drainage pipes, weatherproofing, and security concerns, all of which were abated by 2012.

The property underwent routine safety inspections in 1999, 2001, 2012, and 2018, though complaints in 2016 regarding possible vermin issues and dumping hazards suggest periodic maintenance challenges. Two significant tenant buyouts occurred in 2017, totaling over $180,000, involving multiple units and suggesting substantial recent turnover of residents. The building has also been subject to recurring parking enforcement issues, particularly between 2019-2023, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking and sidewalk parking violations, though these are external to the building's structural concerns.
