101 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

101 Parnassus Avenue is a 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, containing 13 units and owned by Robert C & Maureen B Mills. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 (Tier 3 status), which included foundation reinforcement and new moment frame installation at a cost of $130,000. Recent safety enhancements include the installation of a new fire alarm panel in 2021 ($15,000) with low-frequency horns and wireless communication capabilities, followed by verification and testing in 2022.

The building has experienced several fire safety-related incidents and complaints, though none resulted in injuries or substantial damage; these have primarily involved alarm system activations and maintenance issues that were promptly addressed. The property has a history of routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent occurring in 2017. Several violations were recorded between 2003-2009, including issues with the fire escape system and heating requirements, all of which were resolved.

Recent maintenance records indicate ongoing attention to building systems, including emergency lighting updates in 2007 and window replacements in 2002. The building's condition and systems have been actively managed, with most complaints and violations being promptly addressed and resolved. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to street maintenance issues such as flooding, garbage, and debris on public property, which are external to the building itself.
