1565-1571 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1565-1571 Grove Street was constructed in 1906 and contains four units. The property has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over recent years, with particular attention paid to safety systems. Major upgrades include the installation of a complete fire sprinkler system in 2016 ($4,500) and subsequent monitoring system improvements in 2017, as well as soundproof insulation and fire-rated wall repairs in 2019. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2014-2016 in response to several code violations, including mold issues, water damage, and various building maintenance concerns, all of which were successfully abated by July 2016.

These improvements included new plumbing systems, bathroom and kitchen updates, and window replacements in units 1565 and 1571. Recent enhancements to the property include the addition of a roof deck with barbecue facilities in 2019, complete with new electrical and gas services. The building's electrical and plumbing systems have received comprehensive upgrades, with new wiring and plumbing installations documented in multiple permits from 2016-2019. A notable construction-related complaint from 2016 regarding debris disposal practices was recorded but has since been resolved.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, with multiple citations for blocked driveways documented between 2018-2024, though these are external to the building's condition. Planning records show the property is currently approved for ABC Type 17, 20 licensing as an accessory use to the dwelling units. A proposed fourth-floor addition was discussed but remains unmentioned in final approvals, suggesting it may not have proceeded. While the building has undergone periodic maintenance and improvements over the years, no active violations or recent complaints regarding building conditions have been recorded, indicating generally satisfactory maintenance of the property.
