1559-1563 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The Ng Family Trust owns this three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located at 1559-1563 Grove Street in the Park North neighborhood. Built in 1904, this flats and duplex-style structure has undergone several inspections and faced multiple compliance issues over its history. The most significant cluster of violations occurred in August 2004, when multiple fire safety concerns were identified, including the need for gas meter instructions, combustible material removal from the garage, window frame repairs, emergency exit reviews, and smoke detector installations.

These violations were all promptly addressed and abated by December 15, 2004. More recent issues include a 2023 complaint about a locked heating control panel and heating system problems, and a 2010 routine inspection revealing multiple safety concerns such as inadequate lighting in the back stairwell and unsafe washer/dryer room conditions. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the past two decades. A significant safety concern was reported in 2010 regarding a swaying washer/dryer room, though this was eventually abated in 2012.

There have been multiple parking enforcement issues in the vicinity, with several citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways or double parking between 2020 and 2023. Recent 311 calls from 2025 include reports of garbage and debris, as well as human waste on the property, which is currently under investigation. The property has also faced external challenges such as graffiti removal in 2020 and illegal postings in 2021. While many of the historical safety violations have been resolved, the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly relating to building systems like heating and lighting.
