510 Parker Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 510 Parker Avenue, owned by the Matsouka Family Living Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its construction in 1975. Most recently, in 2024, the building completed a major fire alarm system upgrade costing $28,200 to comply with current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and updating all existing devices. Earlier in 2024, the property received a new roof through a $29,900 project.

The building has demonstrated commitment to seismic safety, completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $50,000, which included the installation of a moment frame and shear wall for improved lateral stability. Historical maintenance records show attention to various building systems and structures, including a 2015 electrical upgrade that relocated interior sub-panels from unit closets to hallway walls for improved access and safety. The property has experienced some code enforcement activity, particularly in 2003 and 2011, when violations were recorded regarding fire safety systems and building maintenance, though all these issues were promptly abated.

Recent incidents primarily consist of recurring issues with street garbage management, with numerous notifications in late 2024 regarding overflowing city garbage cans. The building has a documented record of false fire alarms and system malfunctions, though no actual fire incidents or civilian injuries have been recorded. The property's fire safety systems have received regular attention, culminating in the recent comprehensive upgrade which addresses many previous concerns, including improvements to fire escape access and detection systems.
