Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 185 Parker Avenue, owned by Kenneth K & Priscilla Y Jue, has undergone several significant safety-related improvements since its construction in 1925. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $90,000, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements as a Tier 3 property. In 2022, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade to meet current fire safety code requirements, costing $12,000, which included the installation of new sounders throughout the property.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure needs, including reroofing projects in 2011 ($14,280) and 1995 (expired permit), as well as a code compliance upgrade in 1985. Two routine housing inspections were conducted in 2003 and 2008, both of which were resolved. Recent infrastructure concerns in the area have been documented through 311 calls, particularly relating to sewer issues in 2021 (with reports of flooding), though these appear to have been street-related rather than specific to the building itself. The property has also experienced occasional neighborhood issues such as sidewalk parking violations and street cleaning needs, which are more reflective of the surrounding area rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 185 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

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 188 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.

Building size

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

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 63.8%
Moderate concern 20.8%
Severe concern 15.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
