Initial analysis

The property at 176-178 Parker Ave is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1935, currently owned by Green Hills Views LLC. Recently, the building underwent significant renovations in 2023 to comply with an abatement order from 2013, including the addition of two bathrooms (one per unit), installation of new closets, and yard repairs, with associated plumbing and electrical work. These improvements followed a period of violations in 2013-2014 regarding unpermitted construction that expanded habitable space into the garage area and modified various rooms throughout the building, including unauthorized bathroom additions and patio construction. The 2012 renovations had included major interior remodeling across all three floors, including bedroom and bathroom additions, kitchen relocations, and extensive electrical work.

The building's maintenance history shows some concerns about compliance, with violations from 2012-2023 related to construction permits, though these appear to have been resolved through recent work. A notable safety-related issue was reported in 2012 regarding uncontained paint scraping and potential lead paint concerns, which was promptly addressed. The property has experienced periodic street cleaning issues in the surrounding area, with multiple reports of waste requiring public works intervention between 2019 and 2022, though these are external to the building itself. More recently, in December 2024, a grounding electrical permit was issued, indicating ongoing attention to building systems. A condo conversion application is currently under review for the property as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 176-178 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.
