1347-1351 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1347-1351 Grove Street, built in 1908, has experienced several notable events over its history that impact resident safety and building integrity. Most concerning is an active complaint from December 2020 indicating the building's potential classification as a "multi-unit soft story structure" that hasn't been included in the city's mandatory soft-story property program, posing significant hazard concerns.

In recent years, there have been multiple routine safety inspections (2018, 2010, and 2007) suggesting ongoing monitoring of building conditions, though most violations from 2007-2010 were addressed within a few months, including issues with security requirements and fire safety concerns. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns dating back to the 1990s, including fire damage repair in 1996 and violation corrections in 1993. Recent municipal records from 2024 show multiple parking enforcement actions around the property, including citations for sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

Street-related issues have been noted through 311 calls, including pavement defects and tree maintenance concerns in 2020, as well as a recent sidewalk cleaning request. These exterior and access-related issues, while not involving the building structure itself, reflect ongoing challenges with the property's surroundings. The building's permit history shows minimal permitted work, with several sidewalk-related permits from 2008 and a single fire damage repair permit from 1996, suggesting limited major renovations or improvements in recent decades.
