159-161 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 159-161 Parnassus Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by the Lynette M Porteous Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major upgrade being the installation of a new hydronic heating system with two wall-hung mod/con combi units in April 2022, demonstrating ongoing infrastructure maintenance. In 2017, substantial renovations were completed including a kitchen remodel ($30,000) with corresponding plumbing and electrical work, though these improvements were preceded by some plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2010 including sewer line replacement.

The building underwent window replacement in 2009, with 16 windows being upgraded to modern standards. Of particular note is an active building complaint from 2003 regarding an allegedly illegal unit in the back of the garage, which remains unresolved in the system as of October 2023. More recently, there was a noise complaint in June 2021 related to construction work, though this was resolved within a week.

The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti in the surrounding area, with several incidents reported between 2016 and 2022. Additionally, there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2016-2019, though these were typically resolved quickly as the vehicles were not present upon inspection. Street maintenance has been addressed through various permits, with sidewalk repairs recorded in 2009 and 2010.
