669 Grand View Ave, San Francisco, CA 94114

The property at 669 Grand View Avenue is a two-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1974 and owned by Giampaolo Boschetti. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a voluntary fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 ($17,400) to meet current fire code requirements, and a completed soft-story retrofit in 2014 ($156,000) to improve seismic safety.

The building has faced notable safety and maintenance challenges, with a cluster of building violations filed in December 2021 regarding mold/mildew issues and water penetration concerns in the lower garage area, which were abated by January 2022. A previous complaint from 2020 indicated unauthorized biotech manufacturing activity in the basement, though this was subsequently resolved. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural elements, including reroofing in 2002 and deck repairs in 1996.

The building has experienced recurring fire safety citations over the years, with multiple infractions related to fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, and combustible materials between 2012 and 2018, all of which were corrected. The property achieved compliance with the mandatory soft-story retrofit program (Tier 3) and has received various improvements to its essential systems, including a gas houseline extension in 2022. While the building has a history of maintenance issues, the most recent years show significant investment in safety upgrades and a pattern of timely response to violations.
