144 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

144 Parnassus Avenue is a 3-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Pearl Street Ventures LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably the completion of soft-story seismic retrofit work in 2016, installation of three new accessory dwelling units in 2019 (converting former ground floor garages), and ongoing maintenance including recent dry rot repairs at stairs in 2024 ($6,800).

The building has a documented history of electrical system upgrades and individual unit renovations, with all units having received electrical upgrades between 2004-2014, including rewiring, new fixtures, and circuit improvements. Recent building inspections and complaints from 2024 have highlighted several maintenance issues that required attention, including fire protection system compliance, fire escape maintenance, and general building repairs, though these issues were marked as "Not Active" after being addressed. Two minor fire alarm incidents were recorded in 2023 and 2022, both resulting from system malfunctions with no injuries reported.

The building successfully completed its soft-story retrofit requirements, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety standards. While the property has a history of maintenance violations (notably in 2003-2004), most recent permits and repair work suggest active management of building systems and infrastructure. The building currently has several open 311 calls from 2024 regarding exterior issues, including sidewalk defects and a potentially damaged tree, though these are external to the building itself.
