Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 322 Parnassus Avenue, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Htg 1990 Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges in recent years. Notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000 to enhance seismic safety, and two new dwelling units were successfully added in 2016 through conversion of basement storage space. The property has received substantial maintenance attention, including a 44-window replacement project in 2004, electrical system upgrades in 2013 featuring a new 200-amp service, and various building repairs.

Of particular concern are several active violations filed in September 2021, primarily related to fire safety and building maintenance, including issues with smoke alarms, fire escape ladders, and window hardware. These violations, along with complaints about non-functional windows affecting fire exit access in Unit 7 on the third floor, suggest ongoing concerns about safety systems. The building's history also shows some routine maintenance needs, such as wood repair and door closer installation in 2003, and a 1996 reroofing project. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily involved parking enforcement issues on the street, though there was one report in August 2023 regarding waste removal. The building's documented improvements and active violations indicate a continued need for attentive property management, particularly regarding safety systems and building code compliance.

Risk rating

How 322 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.
