1329-1339 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1329-1339 Grove Street in Park North, owned by 101 Broderick LLC, is a 6-unit apartment structure built in 1907 that has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $45,000 to comply with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements, demonstrating the owner's commitment to structural safety.

The building has undergone multiple renovations between 2008-2013 including kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 1329, 1331, and 1339, with upgrades to cabinets, fixtures, and electrical systems, as well as the installation of new heating systems and flue liners. The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most recent concerns including multiple instances of vehicles blocking the driveway between 2021-2024, though these are external challenges rather than building defects. Historical complaints from 1994 and 2017 mentioned serious concerns such as back stairs structural issues, leaks, and mold, though these were reportedly addressed and resolved.

The building also had some compliance violations in 2008, including issues with fireproofing materials and gas utility shutoff requirements, which have since been resolved. A recent inspection in 2024 indicated an active streetlight request, which is currently open. Administrative records show regular maintenance and compliance with major building codes, including the completion of required retrofits, though there was a brief period of non-compliance with the Soft Story Retrofit Program that was subsequently rectified.
