306-308 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 306-308 Parnassus Avenue, owned by the Gordon/Young Family Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1912. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $48,000), bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

The building has also received important maintenance and safety upgrades, including a reroofing project in 2014 ($9,000), interior brick wall replacement in 2004 ($2,500), and a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2002 ($10,000), which included associated electrical work to address housing violations. The building experienced a cluster of violations and complaints in 2000-2002, primarily related to safety and maintenance issues including security problems, building repairs, and interior surface conditions, though all these violations were abated by August 2000.

More recent history shows routine inspections (2011, 2009) and one fire complaint in 2011 regarding blocked exits that was immediately corrected. The property has experienced three false alarm or activation incidents related to its fire safety systems, though no actual fires or civilian injuries have occurred. While the building's maintenance history shows regular attention to major systems and compliance with safety requirements, there have been numerous recent 311 calls in 2024 about street conditions and encampments in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself.
