Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 2391-2395 29th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood, built in 1928 and currently owned by Oryx 2395 29th Ave LLC, has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years. Most recently, in July 2024, Unit #2 received extensive upgrades including bathroom and kitchen renovations costing $55,000. Major safety improvements were implemented in 2019, including a comprehensive overhaul of the fire safety systems with the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and sprinkler monitoring, as well as the addition of two new dwelling units (ADUs). The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit as a Tier 4 building, achieving Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) status.

The property has had a history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly evident in a series of violations documented in 2001, which included problems with the alarm system, fire safety equipment, and interior maintenance. These issues were all resolved by February 2002. More recent fire safety complaints were investigated in 2019 and 2022, with one being classified as having "Condition Corrected" status. Multiple units were renovated in 2018, and various infrastructure upgrades have been performed over the years, including HVAC system improvements, plumbing updates, and electrical work. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both individual unit upgrades and building-wide safety systems, though there have been periodic issues with hot water availability reported by tenants between 1999-2002.

Risk rating

How 2391-2395 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
6th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 240 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.

Property class

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects. This code is grouped with other less-common classes.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 15.3%
Moderate concern 57.0%
Severe concern 27.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
