275 Parker Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The three-story, 14-unit apartment building at 275 Parker Avenue in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, built in 1963 and owned by Millie Lum, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $30,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's Soft Story Retrofit Program (Tier 3).

The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with the most recent violation in September 2024 related to obstructed exits, though most previous fire-related issues (including those concerning alarm systems and extinguishers) were promptly corrected within days of being reported. A pattern of maintenance and safety inspections can be observed throughout the building's history, with routine housing inspections conducted in 1999, 2003, and 2008 showing no significant issues, while a 2014 complaint mentioned potential mold concerns in one unit (since resolved).

Infrastructure improvements include the installation of an automatic driveway gate in 2006-2007 and historical dry rot repairs documented in 1992. Recent external issues have included reports of graffiti (2020) and medical waste (2023) near the property, though these cases were promptly addressed. The building's most pressing safety concerns appear to be related to fire safety systems and exit access, as evidenced by the recent 2024 violation for obstructed exits, though the property has generally maintained compliance with major safety requirements such as the Soft Story Retrofit Program.
