Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 270 Parker Ave in Lone Mountain, owned by the Sam Family Bypass Trust, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events throughout its history. The most notable recent issues arose in late 2015 through early 2016, when multiple building violations were documented, including problems with weather proofing, lead hazards due to damaged paint, front stair repairs, electrical issues, and mold in bathroom walls, all of which were ultimately resolved by March 2017 through various permits and corrections. The property has undergone important infrastructure improvements, including a sewer line replacement in 2012 and the installation of handrails on front stairs in 2017 to comply with city orders. Earlier history includes a 1991 permit to correct illegal basement conversion work. More recently, there have been multiple reports regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk near the property, with the most recent complaints in 2024, indicating an ongoing issue with urban forestry management and maintenance in the vicinity of the property. The building has also experienced various maintenance issues in its history, including problems with windows, drains, appliances, and electrical systems, though most have been addressed through appropriate permits and inspections.

Risk rating

How 270 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.
