186 Commonwealth Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

186 Commonwealth Avenue is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1921, currently owned by Gvp Survivors Trust-parker and located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in January 2024 at a cost of $32,234, which included the installation of manual pull stations, smoke detectors, horn/strobes, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current code requirements. The building has a documented history of plumbing infrastructure improvements, including a new sewer and house trap installation in 2017 and water main replacement in 2013, with an earlier partial sewer main replacement attempt in 2009 that expired without completion.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues over the years, including dry rot repairs to stucco around a first-floor window in 2019. Fire safety inspections have revealed occasional alarm system issues, with violations recorded in 2015, 2020, and most recently in December 2023, though these were generally corrected in a timely manner. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2004, with no active violations noted.

Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as parking violations, sidewalk defects, and street cleaning matters rather than building-specific concerns. Two notable incidents occurred in 2024: a noise complaint related to a major event venue in August and multiple reports of garbage and debris on nearby sidewalks, which were resolved. While there have been some fire-related complaints and violations in recent years, emergency response records show no significant fire incidents at the address.
