1387-1393 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1387-1393 Grove Street, owned by Jh Capital LLC, was constructed in 1908 and contains 4 units, with documented historical significance including completing repairs following a 1984 fire incident that damaged the high wall. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably the reroofing project in 2021 costing $17,400, and a house trap replacement in 2020. In 2008, the building underwent substantial modifications to unit 1389, including kitchen reconfiguration, electrical work, and plumbing improvements totaling $15,000, which were required to address a violation from 2007 that noted unauthorized changes to the floor plan and concerns about unapproved wiring and plumbing.

This violation was ultimately abated in 2008. Earlier, in 2003-2004, there was work done on installing a fire alarm system with various components including smoke detectors and manual fire alarm boxes, though these permits expired. The building has been subject to routine safety inspections, with the most recent occurring in December 2018, and has maintained its legal use as a 2-floor, 4-unit apartment structure with garages and a basement.

The property has experienced numerous parking-related issues in recent years, particularly between 2022 and 2025, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though these are external to the building's condition and systems. The apartment's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with the most recent significant work being the 2021 reroofing and 2020 plumbing system updates, suggesting ongoing investment in the building's infrastructure by the current ownership. The building's historical records show compliance with various safety requirements, with the major violation from 2007 being the only significant regulatory issue in recent history.
