Initial analysis

The Ng Family Revocable Trust owns this two-unit multi-family residential building located at 2386-2388 29th Avenue in Parkside. Built in 1948, this two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several notable improvements over the years, with the most recent significant renovations occurring in 2022, including a kitchen and bathroom remodeling project valued at $30,000 that involved installing 10 LED lights in the dining and living rooms, replacing the sub-panel, and updating kitchen cabinets and counters. These improvements were accompanied by corresponding electrical and plumbing permits, all of which are marked as complete. Additionally, the building received a solar energy upgrade in December 2018 with the installation of a 4.225kW roof-mounted solar system comprising 13 panels, demonstrating the property's commitment to sustainable energy use.

The property's history shows earlier modifications, including a basement conversion to a private office completed in 1985. Two minor incidents have been reported through the 311 system in 2024 - a parking enforcement call regarding sidewalk parking that could not be validated, and a noise complaint related to barking dogs that was addressed through direct communication with the complainant. The building's recent permit activity suggests active maintenance and upgrading of the property's systems, with no documented safety concerns or major incidents on record.

Risk rating

How 2386-2388 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.
