301 Parnassus Ave, San Francisco, CA 94117

301 Parnassus Avenue is a 3-story, 21-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by the John & Germana Congi Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, including a mandatory seismic soft-story retrofit completed in 2016 at a cost of $100,000, and more recently, substantial electrical upgrades in September 2023 involving the relocation of subpanels in multiple units to exterior walls. The building experienced a notable incident in February 2020 when a vehicle struck the front of the building, damaging three garage doors, though the structural supports remained intact.

This led to subsequent repair work on wood posts and foundation patches costing $15,000. The property currently faces several active building violations as of February 2024, primarily related to compliance affidavit requirements and gas utility shutoff tool provisions, as well as an open violation regarding sleeping area requirements issued in December 2023. The building has maintained a record of regular maintenance, including reroofing work in 1997 and window replacement in 1991.

Historical records show various routine housing inspections over the years, with the most recent fire complaint in 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, though previous fire violations from 2021 and 2016 were either found to have no merit or were corrected promptly. The property has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by 311 calls between 2022-2024, primarily related to parking issues and street cleaning matters, which have all been resolved through appropriate channels. Most recently, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program requirements and obtained a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), demonstrating compliance with this significant seismic safety improvement requirement.
