Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 149-151 Parker Avenue, located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, was constructed in 1986 and is currently owned by Mary A. Low. The property has undergone several significant renovations, with the most recent being a substantial remodeling project in 2022 that included updates to 3.5 bathrooms, one kitchen, and a wet bar, with the work properly permitted through building, electrical, and plumbing permits totaling $58,000. Earlier improvements to the property include a 2004 reroofing project ($17,600), a 1990 horizontal addition, and original modifications in 1984 involving demolition work and the removal of a half bath behind the garage.

The building's maintenance history suggests active upkeep by the owner, though there have been recurring parking-related issues reported on and around the property. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple complaints about parking violations, particularly instances of sidewalk parking documented through 311 calls, though many of these cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Notably, there was a housing inspection complaint filed in 1997 regarding a possible illegal unit in the garage, though this issue was abated within two months. A significant electrical service upgrade was proposed in 2018, aiming to consolidate two meters and update the system, but this permit was ultimately cancelled. While the building has experienced some parking-related challenges, particularly with vehicles reportedly blocking sidewalks, these issues are primarily related to on-street parking rather than direct building safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 149-151 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
88th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 33 are predicted to be safer.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Building age

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.
