Initial analysis

The property at 129-131 Lower Terrace is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Corona Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Roderick Wyllie. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repairs and improvements over the decades, including a $15,000 bathroom and kitchen renovation on the second floor in 2010 that involved wall removal, and more substantial structural work in 1987 addressing various issues including roof replacement, dry rot repairs to rear stairs, and siding work on the west side. An important maintenance matter from 2003 involved repairs to rear stairs, though this permit has since expired.

The property appears to have been well-maintained through regular updates, with no recorded building code violations or safety concerns in recent years. The most recent maintenance activity was completed in January 2024, involving catch basin maintenance by PUC Sewer Operations. While there have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2018 and 2022 (totaling nine separate incidents), these are external street issues rather than building-related concerns, and most vehicles were either gone upon inspection or towed, with very few remaining for extended periods. The frequency of abandoned vehicle reports has significantly decreased in recent years, with only one instance recorded in 2022 and the most recent in 2021, suggesting improved street conditions around the property.

Risk rating

How 129-131 Lower Ter'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
28th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 251 are predicted to be safer.
