Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 73-75 Parnassus Avenue, owned by Robert T & Josephine J Hugh, is a duplex structure built in 1905. The building has undergone several significant renovations over its lifetime, including a major sewer line installation completed in December 2014 and reroofing work valued at $13,800 in 2004. Earlier improvements included the installation of four aluminum windows in 1984 and structural work in 1990 involving the bolting of mudsills to the foundation and the installation of plywood gussets. External maintenance has also been attended to, with repairs to the rear porch stairs completed in 2008.

The property has recently experienced a notable pattern of parking enforcement issues, particularly in the latter half of 2023 and early 2024, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. Between October 2023 and January 2024, there were at least ten documented incidents requiring parking enforcement intervention, with various vehicles repeatedly involved, including at least three incidents involving a white Tesla (8ZHV865), three involving a silver Volkswagen Golf (8ZJX942), and others featuring different makes and models. While many of these cases were addressed by responding officers, there are instances where officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles or where the complaints were deemed invalid. The most recent building permit on record from December 2014 indicates both street space work and plumbing upgrades, suggesting ongoing infrastructure maintenance has been a priority for the property.

Risk rating

How 73-75 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
