633 Grand View Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

This three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 633 Grand View Ave in Noe Valley was constructed in 1962 and is currently owned by Kathleen E. Frendo 2014 Revo. The building has experienced several significant structural and safety issues over the years, with the most pressing concerns focusing on fire safety and structural integrity.

Most notably, a series of active violations from March 2003 remains unresolved, including required repairs to stairs, smoke enclosure door closers, smoke detection systems, fire escape drop ladder, weather proofing on siding, and installation of a fire extinguisher. In 2018, serious concerns were raised about a deteriorating wood retaining wall at the rear of the property, which was documented in multiple complaints about its dangerous condition and its impact on neighboring property. A permit was finally obtained and completed in 2019 for a new concrete retaining wall at the rear, costing $10,000, to address this hazardous condition. The building's record includes various maintenance and repair work, including a backyard wood stair repair in 2003 and a reroofing project in 1999.

More recent history shows several routine incidents typical of urban living, including issues with parking, noise complaints, and street cleaning matters, though none of these present serious concerns about the building's condition or safety. Two fire-related incidents were recorded, but both were false alarms with no injuries reported. While there have been multiple building complaints and inspection requests in recent years (with the most recent complaint in 2020), many of these were routine in nature, such as noise complaints related to construction work and general maintenance issues. The property has undergone some structural improvements, as evidenced by the completion of the retaining wall project in 2019, but the unresolved 2003 violations suggest there may still be outstanding safety concerns that need addressing, particularly in relation to fire safety systems.
