315 Grand View Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

315 Grand View Ave is a two-story, multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, containing 5 units and built in 1971. The building has undergone several significant improvements and modifications in recent years, with the most notable being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 costing nearly $30,000 to comply with fire code requirements. In 2022-2023, substantial interior improvements were made to Unit #4, and efforts were undertaken to legalize a previously non-permitted second-floor unit, including kitchen and bathroom modifications.

Historical records show recurring issues with deck maintenance, with dry rot repairs performed in 2016 affecting four decks, and similar problems documented in 1994. The building's history includes one significant compliance action in 1991 when an order of abatement was issued regarding the number of units, though this appears to have been resolved. The property has experienced several fire safety-related incidents, including multiple alarm activations (generally due to malfunction), a gas leak incident, and a few water-related issues, though notably, none resulted in civilian injuries.

A cluster of violations was recorded in 2011 regarding combustible storage, egress obstructions, and sanitation issues, all of which were abated within a month. More recent concerns have centered around exterior maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding graffiti and debris around the property, particularly in the garage area. Current planning records indicate proposed development of additional living units (ADUs), including conversion of ground floor storage and construction of a new two-story structure in the rear yard, which could significantly increase the property's unit count and density if approved.
