Initial analysis

The three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building at 28 Parker Ave, owned by Molly Louderback, was constructed in 1929 and has undergone significant renovations over the years. Most recently, in 2023, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing nearly $50,000, including new control panels, smoke detectors, and horn/strobe devices throughout the property. A like-for-like electrical panel replacement was completed in August 2023, and as of March 2024, a fire alarm inspection is on record as "Filed." The building has seen extensive modernization work, including the addition of second bathrooms and laundry facilities in all units, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and fireplace installations in 2009, followed by individual unit renovations between 2010-2017.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance and safety concerns, notably a series of fire safety-related violations and complaints, including an exit maintenance violation issued in June 2024 (now closed), and multiple alarm system issues in 2009 and 2018 (most resolved quickly). Historical complaints from 2003-2009 raised concerns about fire escapes, combustible storage, and water damage, though these were subsequently abated. The building's systems have been proactively maintained, as evidenced by recent permits for fire alarm improvements and electrical upgrades, though there have been occasional complaints about heating and hot water issues, most recently in 2010. Recent 311 calls (2024) primarily relate to parking enforcement and a mechanical equipment noise complaint, while a blocked sidewalk issue involving construction equipment was resolved in November 2024.

Risk rating

How 28 Parker Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
19th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 220 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.9%
Moderate concern 43.4%
Severe concern 10.7%
