200 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 23-unit apartment building at 200 Parnassus Avenue, managed by Gaehwiler 2000 Tr, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its 1973 construction. Most recently, in September 2023, the building completed the installation of sounders in every dwelling unit to meet updated safety codes, following earlier fire system improvements including a January 2017 retrofit of the fire alarm system with new devices. A critical unresolved issue is an active complaint filed in September 2024 regarding an expired boiler permit that requires attention.

The building has seen regular unit improvements, including Unit 302's kitchen remodel in 2018 and Unit 102's acoustic upgrades in 2020. Infrastructure maintenance has been addressed through various permits, such as a 2019 elevator upgrade and an earlier complete window replacement and siding renovation in 2008. The property's history includes several management and maintenance challenges in the early 2000s, particularly regarding on-site management, which generated multiple complaints between 2002-2005. While these issues appear to have been resolved, as evidenced by recent inspections showing no violations, there have been recurring concerns about garbage management in the immediate vicinity, with multiple 311 calls regarding overflowing city garbage cans in late 2024.

The building has experienced several fire alarm system activations and false alarms over the years, though no injuries have been reported in any fire-related incidents. Recent inspections in February 2024 showed no violations, and compliance affidavits were submitted, indicating improved maintenance oversight. The building's most pressing current issue appears to be the boiler permit situation, which if unresolved, could potentially affect resident comfort and safety. While the building has generally maintained compliance with most safety and maintenance requirements recently, the pattern of street cleaning issues in the vicinity suggests ongoing challenges with waste management in the surrounding area.
