Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 351-353 29th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Chung-wong Fmly Tr, was constructed in 1911 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, in 2008, substantial renovations were completed, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in two units with high-efficiency fixtures, electrical system upgrades with new service panels and circuits, plumbing improvements including two kitchens, two bathrooms, and laundry facilities, as well as siding replacement on rear and side sections. More recent maintenance includes a direct vent wall heater replacement in 2021 and a sewer line replacement in 2014.

The building has experienced some recent infrastructure challenges, including sewage-related issues in January 2024 and a sewer service request in the same month, though these problems were subsequently resolved. The property has also had recurring issues with driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls in 2023-2024, along with reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity. While these parking-related incidents are external to the building itself, they may impact resident convenience. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with historical improvements including a reroofing project in 1997 and deck dry-rot repairs in 1996, indicating attention to structural maintenance over time.

Risk rating

How 351-353 29Th 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
20th percentile

Out of 2250 buildings in this neighborhood, 1800 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.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.9%
Moderate concern 32.6%
Severe concern 12.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
