Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 139 Parker Ave in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, owned by Amy M. Lao and constructed in 1961, has undergone significant improvements over the past two decades. The building has seen consistent modernization efforts, including comprehensive unit renovations between 2013-2015 that encompassed kitchen and bathroom remodels in all four units, with individual projects ranging from $9,000 to $25,000. The property underwent exterior updates in the early 2000s, including vinyl siding installation and rear wall renovations in 2002-2003, and a roofing project in 1991.

While the building has maintained a generally good maintenance record, there were notable fire safety concerns in 2003 that were promptly addressed, including issues with combustible lint around dryers, malfunctioning emergency exit lights, and fire escape ladder maintenance - all of which were abated by September 2003. A significant complaint was filed in January 2015 regarding unpermitted construction work and debris, though this appears to have been resolved with subsequent proper permit applications. More recent building activity has focused on routine maintenance, with no active violations or significant complaints on record since the 2015 incident. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations for blocked driveways recorded from 2020 to 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions. Recent municipal service calls have primarily concerned street maintenance and lighting issues, which were addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 139 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
41th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 160 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.

Number of units

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 69.9%
Moderate concern 20.6%
Severe concern 9.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
