312 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 312 Parnassus Avenue, owned by the Monica L Schefski Trust and built in 1951, has undergone several significant upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire safety modernization in late 2024 including an upgraded fire alarm system, new low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, and replacement of the main electrical service panel with multi-meters. The building has shown consistent maintenance regarding its infrastructure, with earlier improvements including a complete re-roofing project completed in 2017 (valued at $18,000) and critical electrical upgrades in 2022 involving main wire replacement.

The property had a substantial cluster of violations in early 2003, primarily related to fire safety systems, security requirements, and plumbing, including issues with the fire escape ladder, central alarm system, security viewers, gas meter instructions, and fire sprinklers at the garbage chute. These violations were all addressed and abated by March 2009.

Since then, there have been relatively few issues, with only two notable tenant complaints in 2014 regarding general maintenance and water quality, both of which were resolved within two months. A recent sidewalk defect was reported and resolved in 2019. The building's documented history suggests a generally well-managed property with recent investments in safety systems and infrastructure, though potential tenants should note the building's age and past history of fire safety-related violations, all of which were resolved.
