1742-1744 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 1742-1744 Grove Street in the Park North neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1921 and currently owned by Nicole A. Hicks.

The building has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime, including a substantial $30,000 window replacement project in 2006, which involved installing six new windows in their original sizes and locations, with particular attention to maintaining privacy (four windows facing the street, none facing property lines). Earlier renovations included bathroom installation work in 1992 and foundation work including raising heights and addressing dry rot in 1989, though these permits have since expired. The property has experienced various neighborhood issues in recent years, particularly during 2020-2023, with recurring concerns about street cleaning and parking violations.

There were multiple instances of loose garbage requiring Department of Public Works (DPW) intervention, particularly in early 2022, and several parking enforcement requests for vehicles reportedly blocking driveways, with at least one resulting in a citation in December 2020. The building's immediate vicinity has experienced ongoing mobility-related complaints, with reports of scooter usage being a particular concern in March 2022. While most reported issues have been resolved through appropriate channels, the frequency of parking-related complaints and street cleaning needs in the area suggests ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges.
