Initial analysis

The Wong Family Living Trust's two-unit residential building at 165 Parker Ave, constructed in 1993 following the demolition of a single-family dwelling, has undergone numerous significant improvements over its lifetime. Recent work includes window replacements in 2023 and the installation of a Tesla solar system with energy storage in 2021, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and sustainability upgrades. The property underwent substantial renovations in 2014-2015, including a major first-floor kitchen installation, second-floor bathroom remodels, bedroom and bathroom additions, and multiple window replacements totaling over $100,000. The building has seen consistent maintenance of its essential systems, including a complete reroofing in 2021 costing $28,600, and improvements to electrical systems including hot tub installation and various circuits.

The property has maintained a solid safety record with no reported building code violations. A single incident involving a tree potentially damaging the property was reported in 2021, though it was determined that communication lines were not pruning priorities. The building's environmental impact has been addressed through the installation of a comprehensive solar system with battery storage, and recent window replacements suggest ongoing energy efficiency improvements. The property's management has generally responded promptly to maintenance needs, as evidenced by the series of well-documented permits for various improvements and repairs. Recent minor street-related issues, including one incident involving glass and abandoned vehicles, have been quickly resolved by city services, though these are typical urban neighborhood occurrences unrelated to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 165 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
92th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 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.

Owner's portfolio size

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

Building size

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

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 91.2%
Moderate concern 6.7%
Severe concern 2.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
