183 Parnassus Avenue is a 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by 183 Parnassus Partners LLC. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, including major seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 soft-story building completed in 2016, installation of a new auxiliary dwelling unit, and comprehensive fire safety upgrades. Most notably, in 2024, the building is receiving a fire alarm system upgrade to comply with current fire code requirements, including installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.
The building has undergone multiple infrastructure improvements between 2016-2017, including installation of fire sprinklers, a new electrical service with multiple panels, and comprehensive plumbing updates including removal of the old steam boiler system and installation of new heating units throughout the building. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, though it has experienced some maintenance issues over time. A complaint from 2019 regarding a window and heating problem was resolved, and there was a recent underground drainage issue reported in mid-2024.
Historic violations from 2000 related to security requirements and lead paint concerns were all abated by 2001, and there was a fire alarm system violation in 2020 that was subsequently corrected. Most construction-related complaints from 2017-2018 regarding surrounding properties and temporary construction impacts were also resolved. Recent activity indicates ongoing maintenance and system upgrades, with current work focused on fire safety improvements and regular building maintenance. The property has been responsive to regulatory requirements, as evidenced by the completion of mandatory soft-story retrofitting and subsequent improvements to meet current building codes.
