Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2405 29th Avenue, located in the Parkside neighborhood and owned by Jerry L C Liu and York H, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1948. The property has a documented history of maintenance and issues requiring attention, with the most recent significant maintenance occurring in August 2024 when a $20,000 re-roofing project was issued, marking the building's second re-roofing work on record since a 1989 project. The property has faced several parking-related challenges in recent months, with four documented complaints between August and December 2024 regarding blocked driveways, though enforcement officers were generally unable to locate the offending vehicles. A notable sidewalk obstruction occurred in January 2024 involving construction materials, which was resolved through contractor intervention.

The building's maintenance history includes various infrastructure concerns, such as a 2016 issue with a collapsed sidewalk that required multiple extensions for resolution, involving uneven, raised, and sunken sidewalk squares and driveway curb problems. There have been two documented instances of loose garbage on adjacent streets in 2021 and 2017, though in 2021 no garbage was found at the reported location. Other minor incidents include a 2011 case of offensive graffiti, which has since been addressed. The property's maintenance records show regular upkeep and response to resident concerns, with the most recent improvements focusing on roof maintenance in 2024. The building's age and location have resulted in typical urban maintenance issues, particularly concerning parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, which have been addressed through proper channels.

Risk rating

How 2405 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

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 46 are predicted to be safer.
