1602-1604 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1602-1604 Grove Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Carl Norman Van Os Trustee. The building's maintenance history includes significant deck repairs in 2011, when approximately 50% of the deck joists were replaced with pressure-treated wood at a cost of $8,000, following an earlier horizontal extension to the deck completed in 1986.

The property has undergone three routine housing inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2001, 2004, and 2017, with no active violations recorded from these inspections. Recent external conditions around the property have been somewhat concerning, particularly in 2024, with multiple incidents requiring municipal intervention.

There were three instances of graffiti removal (January, September - two cases), and troubling occurrences of medical waste (March) and human/animal waste (February) that required street cleaning responses. Additional 2024 incidents include reports of encampments (February, September; both could not be located), a recent case of loose garbage requiring general cleaning (May), and a parking enforcement issue regarding a blocking vehicle (May) that was resolved by responding officers. While the building itself appears to be regularly inspected and maintained according to historical records, the surrounding area has experienced increased maintenance challenges in recent months, as evidenced by the frequency and variety of 311 calls requiring municipal response.
