Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2401 29th Avenue, located in the Parkside neighborhood, is a two-story structure built in 1948 and currently owned by the Calvin Yee Family Living Trust. The building's maintenance record shows several significant repairs, including a complete reroofing project in 2017 costing $8,800, and termite repairs beneath the front windows in 2000. A building complaint was filed in 2007 regarding unauthorized electrical stapling construction, though this issue was promptly resolved within eight days.

More recently, there has been an uptick in street-related maintenance issues around the property, particularly regarding waste disposal, with multiple reports of garbage and debris between August 2024 and January 2025, all of which were resolved by city services or Recology. While there have been several incidents of non-offensive graffiti reported in 2024, both on public infrastructure and near the property, these were addressed by appropriate authorities. The only recorded fire incident involved a malfunctioning smoke detector, with no injuries reported. The building's permit history shows appropriate maintenance and repair work over the years, with no active or unresolved permits on record.

Risk rating

How 2401 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
52th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 122 are predicted to be safer.
