36-38 Grattan St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-unit residential building at 36-38 Grattan Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by Crandon John E III and others. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work focused on the roof, including a $15,000 renovation with new plywood sheathing, composition shingles, gutters, and skylights completed in 2015, following a $20,700 reroofing project in 2014. Other notable improvements include a furnace and ductwork replacement in 2015, and extensive interior renovations in 2009-2010 involving kitchen and bathroom remodels with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $50,000.

The building has a history of maintenance compliance, with a set of building violations from 2009 related to security and fire safety requirements being resolved by July 2010. However, there is an active complaint filed in December 2018 regarding a potential unpermitted dwelling unit with short-term rental use, which remains unresolved as of the latest update. The property has had routine housing inspections over the years, with all previous violations being resolved, including a notable set of fire safety and security issues in 2009 that were abated in 2010.

Recent infrastructure concerns include an open sidewalk defect reported in June 2022, though this appears to be external to the building itself. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking issues in the vicinity, with several reports of sidewalk parking and abandoned vehicles between 2018 and 2024. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of major systems, with multiple roofing projects completed approximately every 10-15 years, suggesting active management of building infrastructure. The property has also undergone various interior improvements, including electrical upgrades, bathroom remodels, and kitchen renovations, indicating ongoing investment in unit improvements.
