Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 26-28 Parsons Street in Lone Mountain, owned by Eleanor Mary McCarthy since 2016, is a two-story apartment structure dating back to 1906. The building's maintenance history shows several significant events, with the most substantial work being a reroofing project completed in 2001 at a cost of $8,700. In 1992, plumbing and electrical fixtures were updated in the bathroom and windows were modified in the lightwell area.

The building experienced a cluster of safety-related violations in August 2003, which were all addressed and abated by September 5, 2003. These violations included issues with combustible materials, missing smoke detectors, emergency exit concerns, and the condition of wooden stairs on the north side. A similar violation regarding combustible storage was documented in September 2009 but was resolved by March 2010. Recent activity around the property has been primarily related to parking issues, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways in 2023, along with regular street maintenance matters such as Christmas tree removal and general cleaning. The most recent building-related incident was a resolved parking enforcement case in October 2023, indicating continued attention to parking regulations in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 26-28 Parsons St'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
