250 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 18-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 250 Parnassus Avenue, owned by Gaehwiler Family LLC, has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades since its construction in 1964. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 (costing $130,000) to improve seismic safety, and in 2021-2022 underwent substantial fire safety improvements including a fire alarm system upgrade ($38,214) and complete replacement of outdated electrical panels (notably replacing Federal Pacific panels) across all units with modern equipment.

Recent fire safety inspections in 2024 returned "No Merit" findings regarding fire escape and alarm system complaints, though a routine housing inspection from February 2023 remains active. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to structural and safety improvements, including window replacements for egress compliance (2013), bathroom remodels (2012), and exterior maintenance work following a 2014 complaint about stucco removal.

Historical violations from 2003 related to fire safety and egress obstructions were promptly addressed by December 2003. Recent 311 calls from 2024 mainly concern external issues such as parking enforcement and sidewalk cleaning, rather than building-specific problems. The property has demonstrated regular upkeep through various permits for roofing (2005), plumbing, and electrical work, maintaining compliance with San Francisco building codes and requirements.
