Initial analysis

112 Parnassus Avenue is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924 and currently owned by the Henry L Mckenzie Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in August 2023 that included the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current fire code requirements. The building successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, earning a Certificate of Final Completion, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to both structural and safety concerns. Previous improvements include a garage dryrot repair in 2004, reroofing projects in 1991 and 2005, and multiple streetspace permits. The property experienced some fire safety issues in 2005, when violations were documented regarding fire escape ladders and egress obstructions, though these were promptly resolved within two months. More recent inspections focusing on the electrical system were conducted in 2023, with all necessary upgrades completed. The building's service history shows routine inspections and maintenance to address various issues, with the most recent fire system inspection in early 2024 confirming that all conditions were promptly corrected. While there have been several 311 calls regarding street-related issues around the building, these have primarily concerned public space management rather than building-specific concerns, and were typically resolved through normal city processes.

Risk rating

How 112 Parnassus 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
22th percentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 410 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.3%
Moderate concern 29.9%
Severe concern 12.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
