98 Parkridge Dr, San Francisco, CA 94131

98 Parkridge Drive is a 20-unit, four-story multi-family residential building located in the Twin Peaks neighborhood. Built in 1979 and currently owned by the Cafferkey Family Trust, the building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance challenges over its history. Most notably, the property completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

Recent fire safety concerns have emerged, with an open violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements, following a pattern of similar issues including problems with fire extinguishers, doors, emergency lighting, and alarm systems in recent years (2016-2023). Historical maintenance records show attention to various structural and safety issues, including a deck repair in 2006, garbage room ventilation improvements in 2001, and earlier concerns about roof leaks in the 1990s. The building has experienced multiple regulatory interventions, including a 1988 project to bring three units into conformance with building codes, and a 1985 attempt to legalize all 20 units which was ultimately canceled.

Various fire safety violations have been documented over the years, with the most recent being in December 2023, though many earlier violations (such as those from 2016 and 2007) have been resolved. The property has maintained active compliance with major safety requirements, including sprinkler system installation and regular fire system certifications, though recent complaints suggest ongoing attention to maintenance and safety systems is required. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues as evidenced by tenant complaints (most recently in 2024), many historic problems have been addressed through proper permits and repairs, suggesting a pattern of responsive management to both regulatory requirements and maintenance needs.
