1678-1682 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117
The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1678-1682 Grove Street in Park North, built in 1904 and currently owned by the Sam R & Diana H Hunt Trust, has undergone significant renovations and faced multiple challenges in recent years. Most notably, there were substantial improvements in 2024, including the installation of a new ductless mini-split heat pump system and comprehensive remodeling of unit #3's kitchen and bathroom. In 2021, major renovations were completed across multiple units, including bathroom remodels in units 1, 2, and 5, facade improvements including window replacements, and a soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 to meet seismic safety requirements (Tier 3).
The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues, with multiple complaints between 2022-2024 regarding unit #3, including leaking windows, plumbing problems, and mold. There were also violations in 2019 related to various safety and maintenance issues including heating problems and fire safety compliance, though these were all abated by April 2019. A significant controversy occurred in 2021 regarding unauthorized demolition work and construction practices, though this was addressed through subsequent permitting processes.
Recent improvements have focused on upgrading building systems and individual units, with completed permits showing substantial investment in modernization, including electrical system upgrades, plumbing improvements, and kitchen/bathroom renovations. The property has undergone several maintenance and safety-related upgrades, including staircase repairs, fire safety improvements, and the installation of new heating systems. The most recent tenant buyout occurred in May 2024, involving two tenants for an amount of $20,000. While the building has had its share of inspection and compliance issues, recent records indicate ongoing efforts to address these concerns through proper permitting and systematic improvements to the building's infrastructure and individual units.
