Initial analysis

The property at 177-179 Parker Ave is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, originally constructed in 1910. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2015-2017. In 2015, a major $260,000 renovation was completed, involving the relocation of one unit from the second floor to the first floor, kitchen and bathroom updates throughout the building, and the installation of a new elevator. Subsequent improvements included the addition of a master bathroom on the third floor and modifications to various other bathrooms, completed in late 2016. During this period, the building received substantial infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of new central heaters, electrical rewiring with a new 300-amp service, and plumbing renovations for multiple bathrooms.

The property's maintenance and enforcement history shows regular municipal oversight, particularly regarding tree maintenance issues in 2020-2022, with some concerns about damaged property and lifted sidewalk conditions. There have been several 311 calls regarding sidewalk parking violations, all involving similar vehicles, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2023. The building's recent modifications have generally improved its amenities and infrastructure, though there are ongoing tree-related maintenance issues in the vicinity. The most recent construction activity related to the building appears to have been completed in 2017, with no major building code violations or safety concerns recorded in the available data.

Risk rating

How 177-179 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.
