263-265 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

The property at 263-265 Parnassus Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Henry S. and Stella Y. Chang.

The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over the years. Most recently, in September 2023, a re-roofing project valued at $15,900 was completed. A major remodeling project took place in 2018-2020, which involved updating the kitchen, converting storage to a laundry room, and associated plumbing and electrical work, though this project did generate at least one complaint about work being done without proper permits. The building received a substantial electrical service upgrade in March 2018, with the installation of a 200-amp, 3-meter service.

More recent concerns have emerged regarding the building's infrastructure, particularly in 2024 when there were two instances of sewage back-up discharge from the side sewer vent, occurring in June and July. The building has a history of water-related issues, with documented water leak repairs in May 2020, and previous water main problems noted in April 2020. Planning records indicate the property has operated as a residential care facility, with approved expansions increasing the resident capacity from 6 to 10 persons. The building's maintenance history also includes typical urban issues such as parking violations, graffiti, and street lighting concerns, though these are not directly related to the building's structural or safety conditions.
