1523 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 1523 Grove Street in Park North is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925, currently owned by Howard & Sherrill Foster. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure works, most notably in 2007 when substantial underpinning work was performed along the property line at a cost of $11,600, though this permit eventually expired.

A smaller street space permit was issued in 2018 with no associated cost. In 2019, there was a fire alarm system issue that was resolved by August of that year. The building and its immediate surroundings have experienced a notable pattern of maintenance issues over the past year, particularly in the second half of 2024, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property and surrounding areas.

Between September and December 2024, there were several incidents of abandoned furniture and electronics requiring Recology intervention, as well as instances of graffiti requiring municipal cleanup. The property has also faced recurring issues with blocked driveways, as evidenced by three parking enforcement calls in September 2024, though officers were unable to locate the vehicles in question. Of particular note is the presence of illegal postings on street surfaces, with one case remaining open as of September 2024.
