163-165 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 163-165 Parnassus Avenue is a two-unit residential building constructed in 1923, currently owned by the Aho-underwood Family Trust. The two-story flats/duplex building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades. Most recently, in May 2023, the building received substantial exterior repairs including the replacement of siding, insulation, and addressing dry rot on the south wall of the fourth floor, with an investment of $25,000.

This followed earlier major work including a 200-amp electrical service upgrade in 2011, reroofing in 2004, and various street space maintenance activities in 2009 and 2011. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and systems upgrades, though the age of the building (100 years old as of 2023) suggests ongoing maintenance will be required. The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, particularly between 2022 and 2024, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking the driveway.

Of note, there were five documented instances of driveway blocking in 2022-2024, with five citations issued and two invalid cases due to incomplete reporting information in May 2023. These parking enforcement issues, while not directly affecting the building's structural condition or resident experience, indicate a persistent challenge with parking management in the vicinity. Additionally, there was one recorded incident of abandoned garbage and debris near the property in November 2024, though this was handled promptly by Recology. The building's documented complaints and violations are primarily related to parking and street access, rather than structural or maintenance concerns, suggesting that the property's physical systems and maintenance are being appropriately managed by the ownership.
