396-398 Frederick St, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 396-398 Frederick Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Silverman Govan Tr. The building underwent a significant conversion from two to three family units, for which a parking variance was obtained, allowing the conversion without required additional off-street parking. The building's infrastructure has received regular maintenance over the decades, including reroofing completed in 1991, window modifications with skylights and an exhaust fan installed in 2008, and addition of a bathroom fan on the second floor the same year.

In 2008, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that resulted in multiple violations related to security and gas utility requirements, specifically the need for proper primary locking devices at exterior doors and gas utility shutoff tools. These violations were promptly abated within two weeks. The property has maintained its compliance with housing regulations since then, with no active building violations on record.

Recent activity (2024-2025) primarily consists of street-level issues such as parking violations, graffiti, and debris concerns in the surrounding area, though these do not directly affect the building's habitability. The only recorded fire incident was a false alarm due to system malfunction, with no injuries or damage reported. The building continues to function as a multi-family residence in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood.
