Initial analysis

This two-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 449 Parker Avenue in Lone Mountain, owned by Lacombe Francois & Amel, was constructed in 1937 and has undergone several significant modifications and repairs over the past decades. Most notably, in 2020 the property underwent substantial interior renovations including kitchen, bathroom, and pantry replacements totaling $100,000, with associated plumbing and electrical work completed throughout the year. The building has experienced recurring issues with its rear yard retaining wall, with the most recent repair completed in 2023 costing $25,000, following a 2019 complaint about its unsafe condition. This historical problem, which included a 2007 permit application (cancelled) for horizontal extension and legalizing a second dwelling unit, suggested ongoing structural concerns with the property. The owners have made some environmentally-conscious improvements, including solar panel installation in 2005. Recent quality-of-life issues have been relatively minor, with 311 calls primarily relating to street cleaning, graffiti, and sign repairs between 2015-2023. The property has maintained compliance with building codes, with the only notable violation being the 2019 retaining wall issue, which was abated in 2022.

Risk rating

How 449 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
