2190 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The Meislin 1999 Family Trust-owned 2190 Grove Street is a 17-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924 that has undergone significant recent improvements. The property completed a substantial renovation in 2017, adding five new units to the ground floor and undergoing major interior modifications including ceiling height increases and structural upgrades, with a total renovation cost exceeding $215,000. This included comprehensive updates to all units' electrical systems (new subpanels, rewiring, lighting), plumbing infrastructure (new water service, fire sprinkler system, bathroom/kitchen renovations), and HVAC systems (new boiler installation).

The building's safety systems have received particular attention, with a $32,000 fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 that included new detectors and low-frequency sounders to meet current safety codes. The property has experienced some recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding boiler permit compliance. There have been multiple complaints about unpermitted boiler operation between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent complaint still active as of October 2024.

Historical violations from 2003 included issues with fire escape drop ladders, emergency exits, smoke detectors, and wood stairs, though most of these were marked as abated in 2020. The building has had several fire alarm system activations, though investigations found no fires or injuries in these instances. A 2018 complaint regarding the building's brick facade was resolved, and the property has completed its required soft-story retrofit work. Recent maintenance activities have included general street cleaning and graffiti removal, with multiple street cleaning issues reported and resolved in 2023-2024.
