226-228 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 226-228 Parnassus Avenue is a two-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by the Abdul R Al-shamma Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably the completion of mandatory Seismic Soft Story Retrofit work in 2017 (Tier 3) costing $40,000, and a voluntary fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 ($14,400) to comply with safety requirements including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

Unit #1 received substantial interior renovations in 2014, including kitchen and bathroom updates totaling $22,000, while earlier work in 2003 involved comprehensive electrical upgrades and floor plan reconfiguration. The building had a cluster of violations in early 2003 related to plumbing, fire safety, security, and interior surfaces, but these were all resolved by August 2003.

Recent exterior maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, including reports of sidewalk defects (2021), and multiple instances of graffiti (2018-2022), though these were generally addressed promptly by city services. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both structural and safety improvements, with no active building violations or complaints on record since 2017. The most recent routine housing inspection in 2017 concluded without any noted ongoing concerns, and the property has since complied with major safety requirements such as the soft story retrofit and fire alarm system upgrades, suggesting a commitment to maintaining current safety standards.
