180-184 Grattan St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The three-story multi-family residential building at 180-184 Grattan Street, owned by Anthony B Bowles, is a 4-unit apartment structure built in 1909 that has experienced significant fire-related incidents. In May 2021, a fire caused substantial damage, rendering the building uninhabitable and creating structural concerns with walls and the roof of the upper unit, along with widespread smoke and water damage throughout all three floors.

The fire incident resulted in active building violations, including failure to comply with the Vacant or Abandoned Building ordinance and various maintenance issues. In response to the fire, multiple permits were filed for repairs, with the most recent revision in December 2022 totaling approximately $40,000, focusing on interior modifications and dry rot repairs across multiple units. The building underwent extensive rehabilitation work between 2022-2023, including electrical and plumbing system replacements, new HVAC installations, and comprehensive interior renovations.

Historical records show prior maintenance issues from 1998, including problems with leaks, mold, bathroom ventilation, and exterior stairs, along with periodic routine inspections in the following years. Three parking-related incidents were recorded in 2024, along with graffiti and street cleaning issues, though these do not significantly impact the building's core systems or structural integrity. While the fire-related violations remain active as of the most recent records, the thorough repair work completed in 2022-2023 suggests substantial progress toward addressing the building's current condition.
