Initial analysis

245 Parker Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood. Built in 1906 and classified as a Flats & Duplex structure, the property is currently owned by Frank H Yuen Tr. The building's maintenance history reveals several notable issues, with the most significant and recent concerns centered around plumbing systems. In September 2024, the property experienced a sewage back-up discharge from the side sewer vent, followed by a customer callback to the Public Utilities Commission's Sewer Operations. The absence of a visible trap vent in front of the property was specifically noted in the inspection report. The building's exterior infrastructure has also faced challenges, with multiple reports of pavement defects in 2024, including one ongoing case from June 2024.

The property's historical records show two prior repair permits: a sidewalk repair from 2001 (expired) and a 1992 permit for ceiling repair and window changes. Other than these infrastructure issues, there have been relatively few incidents on record, including a 2018 environmental health service request that was transferred to the DPH Environmental Health Lead Program, and a 2014 building inspection case that required follow-up with a concrete testing engineer. While the building has reached its117th year of existence, the most pressing current concerns appear to be related to its plumbing systems and adjacent pavement conditions, though no immediate life-safety concerns are evident from the available data.

Risk rating

How 245 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
64th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 187 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.8%
Moderate concern 12.9%
Severe concern 4.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
