Cole Valley/Parnassus Heights, SF 94117 1277001G 3 units · 2 fl · 1922

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 141-147 Parnassus Ave rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1922

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1922
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 141-147 Parnassus Avenue property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1922, currently owned by Lichtmacher & Geary Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent work completed in October 2023 involving repairs to the mudsill, studs, and siding on the lower front left corner of the building. A new skylight installation above the stairs is planned for 2025. The building's history includes addressing multiple compliance issues in 2003-2009, with violations related to fire safety, electrical systems, and utility access being resolved, such as the removal of an unauthorized wooden utility ladder in 2009 and various fire safety improvements including fire extinguisher requirements and combustible storage concerns.

The property underwent routine inspections in 2003, 2009, and 2017, with most issues being promptly addressed and abated, though a 2003 inspection did reveal several areas needing attention including stairs, gas meter instructions, electrical box repairs, and fire proofing. Recent maintenance has focused on structural and safety improvements, including electrical system upgrades (2003-2004) and exterior stair replacements (2005). While the building has maintained compliance with safety regulations since resolving the 2003-2009 violations, recent 311 calls have primarily related to external matters such as street cleaning and parking issues rather than building safety concerns. A single gas-related incident was recorded but with no civilian injuries reported. The property's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements, suggesting ongoing attention to building upkeep by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 141-147 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
39thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 321 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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 age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
