2 Parker Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2 Parker Ave, owned by Antonio & Rita Castellucci, has been in operation since 1930 and is currently facing significant structural and safety concerns. The building is currently non-compliant with the Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program, with active violations filed in 2022 and 2023 regarding unmet seismic safety requirements. Recent major concerns include ongoing structural issues as evidenced by a June 2023 complaint detailing deteriorating walls, foundation cracks, unstable lobby steps, and drainage problems, which remains active as of now.

The building has a history of multiple unit renovations from 2011 through 2019, including several kitchen and bathroom remodels, some of which were done without proper permits and resulted in complaints. There have been recurring fire safety concerns, as shown by multiple fire complaints between 2016 and 2024 regarding alarm systems, exit maintenance, and electrical systems, though these have been marked as corrected. The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, including a notable cluster of violations in 2016 involving lead paint hazards, garage drainage problems, broken windows, inadequate lighting, and storage issues.

While some past problems have been addressed, such as a 2015 soft-story retrofit permit approval (valued at $120,000), the more recent structural and seismic compliance failures are particularly concerning. The building's maintenance history shows attention to unit improvements and repairs, but ongoing structural issues and non-compliance with modern safety requirements represent significant challenges for the property. The owners have also faced violations regarding unauthorized construction in 2014 and water leakage issues in 2018, though many historical complaints have been resolved or deemed not active.
