Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 383 29th Avenue in the Central Richmond neighborhood, owned by Carson & Irene Lee Yu Revoc, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1923. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most recently, in November 2023, a building complaint was filed regarding an unissued permit from 2016 for the addition of a study room and bathroom behind the garage in the lower unit. Earlier concerns included a 2011 housing inspection for possible illegal unit conversion with kitchen facilities, and a 2004 complaint about inadequate heating and utility billing practices affecting tenant comfort. The building has seen documented improvements including a $14,000 reroofing project in 2020, kitchen renovations on the second floor in 2011, and corresponding electrical upgrades.

Of particular note is a pattern of parking-related enforcement actions in the vicinity of the property, with multiple citations issued throughout 2023-2024 for vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks. There have been at least ten documented parking enforcement calls in the past year, with several resulting in citations. These ongoing parking issues may impact resident accessibility to the property. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep with major systems addressed through various permits, though the recent permit compliance issue from 2016 and historical heating concerns are worth noting for their potential impact on resident comfort and safety.

Risk rating

How 383 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.
