The 231 Frederick Street property is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, built in 1906 and currently owned by Prieur 2001 Family Trust.

Other major renovations include a $24,500 reroofing project completed in 2011.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety issues, with a comprehensive resolution of multiple code violations documented in 1989, which had previously been addressed through inspections in 1986 and 1987. The property experienced a series of related safety and security issues in 2004, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by October 14, 2004. These included concerns regarding the fire escape, egress obstructions, and interior door glazing security requirements.

Remarkably, there have been no fire safety or code compliance violations recorded since 2004, indicating sustained adherence to safety standards. Recent concerns primarily relate to exterior maintenance and street conditions, with multiple reports of garbage and debris in 2024, though most were resolved promptly. There have also been two recent parking enforcement actions in 2024, suggesting ongoing management of street access issues. The building's current status shows no active violations or open complaints, and the soft-story retrofit work has been completed with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, indicating full compliance with seismic safety requirements.
