98 Carmel St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 98 Carmel Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by the Howard L Grothe Jr Revocable Trust. The building's documented history reveals several significant improvements and maintenance actions over the past two decades, with the most substantial renovations occurring between 2003-2004 when the kitchen and bathroom units underwent remodeling, along with window replacements and furnace upgrades, at a cost of $70,000. These improvements were completed in conjunction with addressing a building violation related to stair repairs.

In 2005-2006, the garage facilities were notably reconstructed, including demolition of the old structure followed by the construction of a new garage valued at $35,000, along with the installation of new electrical systems including a sub-panel and lighting. The building's maintenance record shows generally good upkeep, with the last known building violation being resolved in October 2005. Recent activity at the property, particularly in 2024, has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and other parking violations.

These incidents, documented through 311 calls, suggest ongoing challenges with street parking management in the vicinity. Notably, there was one report of a fallen tree in June 2024, though this appears to have been promptly addressed. The property's historical permit records indicate regular maintenance and upgrading of facilities, including electrical systems, with no active violations or significant structural concerns documented in recent years. The last major construction work on record occurred in the mid-2000s, suggesting that the building's core systems have remained stable since then, with no recorded major repairs or improvements in the past decade.
