330 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 21-unit apartment building at 330 Parnassus Avenue, currently owned by Volpentest Living Trust, has undergone several significant updates and faced numerous challenges since its construction in 1974. Most notably, in May 2023, the building received substantial electrical system upgrades, with the replacement of ten sub-panels, including a house panel, indicating a comprehensive modernization of the building's electrical infrastructure. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with violations noted in 2024 (alarm systems), 2023 (sleeping area requirements), 2022 (electrical systems), and 2021 (alarm systems and extinguishers), though most have been resolved or corrected.

The building's history includes several concerning periods, particularly between 2000-2006, when multiple violations were recorded, including issues with mold/mildew, building permits, security requirements, and various maintenance problems. Three illegal unit complaints were filed in 2008, suggesting compliance concerns regarding unauthorized occupancy. More recently, a routine inspection was filed in February 2023 and remains active, with building permit records showing maintenance work such as a 2012 storage room restoration and a 2011 window replacement project.

The property has maintained some historical features, such as a 1992 reroofing permit, though this permit has expired. Recent complaints from 2023-2024 primarily involve external issues such as graffiti and parking concerns, with several citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways near the property. A 2024 fire alarm violation is currently open, and the building has experienced limited fire incidents, including a trash fire and elevator rescue, with no reported civilian injuries. The property has also faced periodic issues with encampments, as evidenced by recent 311 calls, though these are more indicative of the surrounding neighborhood than the building itself.
