1736-1738 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 1736-1738 Grove Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Lo Gilbert, containing three units. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over its history, with the most recent major work being electrical rewiring throughout the house in June 2023.

In 2006, substantial work was completed including termite and dry rot repairs ($37,650), bathroom renovations in all units ($20,500), and window replacements in the rear garage bedroom ($1,500). A major renovation project application for a substantial addition (1,466 sq ft total) was submitted in February 2021 but was subsequently withdrawn. The building has experienced some notable safety and maintenance issues, particularly evident in 2003 when multiple violations were recorded including concerns about emergency exits, staircase repairs, fire safety regarding combustible materials, and mold/mildew presence.

These violations, along with building violations regarding lead-based paint and interior surfaces, were all officially abated by July 2003. A routine safety inspection was conducted in September 2017, though no active violations were recorded at that time. The property has had three parking-related complaints and two general cleaning issues reported through 311 calls between 2015 and 2024, though these are more recent neighborhood maintenance concerns rather than building-specific issues.
