185-187 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The 1915 two-story multi-family residential building at 185-187 Parnassus Avenue, currently managed by Takasuka Family Trust, consists of 4 units and has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade. Most recently, in September 2024, the property received window upgrades, replacing 14 windows with Millard vinyl units at a cost of $11,800.

Previous maintenance work included a roof overlay completed in 2020 ($6,000), concrete walkway repairs in 2017 ($2,000), and substantial ground floor improvements in 2011 ($25,000) that added storage rooms and a half bath with associated electrical and plumbing work. The building has maintained compliance with safety requirements, though a 2003 violation regarding self-closing exterior doors was promptly resolved within five months. The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2003, 2009, and 2017, with no significant issues recorded.

Recent activity around the building primarily involves street-level concerns, including multiple parking enforcement calls in 2023-2024 and some maintenance issues addressed by city services, such as a utility vault cover hole reported in January 2024. Two minor incidents were recorded by the fire department: a smoke detector activation and a water/steam leak, neither resulting in civilian injuries. These events suggest proactive maintenance of the building systems, with no pattern of recurring issues that would affect resident comfort or safety.
