1231 Grove St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 14-unit multi-family residential building at 1231 Grove Street in Alamo Square, owned by Daryabi Two LLC, is a three-story structure built in 1923. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being a $45,784 fire alarm system upgrade completed in September 2023 to comply with SFFD Section 1103.7.6.1 requirements. The building underwent major renovations in 2018, including the installation of a new 400-amp service with 16 meters, conversion of a garage sprinkler system to a residential unit, and comprehensive unit upgrades involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical improvements, and the addition of laundry facilities across multiple units.

A significant portion of the building's recent work has focused on life safety systems, as evidenced by the fire complaints and system upgrades, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in 2022 and previous sprinkler system corrections in 2015 and 2018. Historic records from 2004-2005 show multiple building violations related to interior surfaces, plumbing, and fire safety, including issues with mold/mildew, damaged walls and ceilings, and a problematic fire escape ladder. These violations were resolved by March 2004.

The building underwent regular routine safety inspections in 1998, 1999, 2009, 2012, and 2017, with some past complaints indicating concerns about structural elements like crumbling stairs and security of the front door. The property achieved soft-story retrofit compliance and received a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for this work. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement issues near the property and some graffiti concerns, but these are external to the building itself. The property has shown consistent investment in maintaining and upgrading critical systems, particularly focusing on fire safety compliance and modernizing individual units over the past decade.
