1632-1634 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1632-1634 Grove Street, owned by Li John C & Hu Alison E, was constructed in 1900 and contains two units. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, in 2017, the property experienced a series of serious violations that were documented between March and May of that year, including housing code violations related to heating, egress obstruction, combustible storage, fire safety, and rodent infestation.

These violations were ultimately resolved through various repairs and improvements, including deck and stair repairs, door improvements, and heating system upgrades, with completion dates recorded in May 2017. The building has seen substantial improvements in recent years, including a second-floor bathroom renovation in 2017 with the installation of a walk-in tub, a complete kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2016, and the installation of solar panels in 2011-2013. Plumbing and electrical upgrades have been consistently documented, including the installation of tankless water heaters in 2010 and new 200-amp service in 2016.

A significant development project is currently in planning, proposing extensive remodeling of the first floor, addition of new living space, and construction of new decks and dormers. The property has a documented history of pest issues, with a recent complaint from October 2019 reporting infestations of drain flies and cockroaches. As of 2020, there was a tenant buyout recorded for 1632 Grove Street for $81,096 involving two tenants. Recent activity in the area has primarily consisted of parking enforcement issues along the sidewalk, with multiple calls in 2024, and some maintenance requests in 2022-2023 related to public infrastructure.
