2161-2163 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2161-2163 Grove Street, owned by Breen Briana Brandan, was constructed in 1906 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure. The property has undergone significant renovations and modifications over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2018 when habitable space expansion was legalized, including the conversion of storage areas into an office and kitchenette/laundry facilities. This project, valued at approximately $17,120, followed a previous history of complaints regarding unauthorized modifications.

The building's utilities received attention in 2011 with a major electrical upgrade, including a new 200-amp panel installation and rewiring of the basement floor, though some permits did expire without finalization. Recent maintenance concerns have emerged, particularly regarding sewer issues, with multiple 311 calls reporting sewage backup problems in late 2023 and 2024. The property has experienced several permit-related adjustments, including garage door replacements and various street space permits, with the most recent building work involving electrical finalization in early 2023.

Historical complaints include unauthorized construction in 2018 and an illegal garage unit complaint from 1998, though these issues were subsequently addressed. The building's recent history shows ongoing infrastructure maintenance needs, particularly concerning waste and sewer systems, with multiple service requests in 2024 related to these issues. The property appears to have undergone significant modernization efforts while facing typical urban maintenance challenges in the current environment.
