Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1224-1226 Willard Street, located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1939 and currently owned by Mara S Kopp. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past 25 years, with the most recent major work being a partial re-piping of the lower unit completed in August 2017. The building has received regular attention to its roofing needs, with three documented roofing projects: one in 1998, another in 2009 costing $5,490, and most recently a replacement of approximately 12 wooden steps, support posts, and stringers in the rear stairs in 2015 at a cost of $8,000.

The property has had minimal documented issues impacting resident safety or comfort, with only one notable infrastructure matter recorded - a sewer lateral replacement in October 2021 which was properly communicated to the owner and scheduled for roadway restoration in 2022. Recent activity at the property has included typical urban incidents such as a noise complaint related to a major event venue in August 2024, a parking enforcement issue in March 2023, and a temporary moving sign request in April 2018. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep by the owner, with most permits indicating proper planning and completion of necessary repairs and improvements.

Risk rating

How 1224-1226 Willard 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
83th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 89 are predicted to be safer.
