1840-1842 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 1840-1842 Grove Street in the Park North neighborhood, owned by Wilson W & Emmeline C Chu T, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1917. The building's documented history shows several maintenance and safety-related events over the years.

In 1988, there was a permit issued for stucco repair work measuring approximately 4'x20', though this permit has since expired. A notable incident occurred in 1994 when housing inspection services investigated multiple concerns, including suspected illegal garden apartment units in the rear yard, electrical overloading issues, and a possible terminal path concern at the garage/passageway; these complaints were officially abated by July 1994. More recently, from September to December 2024, there have been multiple reports of parking violations in the vicinity of the property, with at least three citations issued for driveway blocking and instances of vehicles parking on sidewalks.

There were also two reported cases of garbage and debris issues in the surrounding area, one of which involved bagged garbage that required removal. The building has experienced three documented fire-related incidents, though none resulted in any civilian injuries or confirmed fires - these included a smoke scare/odor of smoke, a false alarm, and an unintentional alarm system activation. While the property has seen various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, many of the most recent concerns appear to be related to external parking and sanitation matters rather than structural or safety problems with the building itself.
