Initial analysis

The property at 29-31 Collingwood Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, containing three units and currently owned by the Blackwell Toki S 1992 Trust. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including electrical panel replacements in January 2023 (upgrading from FPE panels to Siemens-Murray panels), a new sewer line installation completed in December 2024, and two major re-roofing projects (one in 1996 and another in 2018 costing $17,000). The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, with multiple violations and inspections documented between 2017 and 2024, including alarm system violations in 2014, 2021, and most recently in June 2024, as well as sprinkler system violations in 2019.

The property has undergone regular housing inspections in 2000, 2007, and 2011, with no active violations noted in the records. Recent history shows ongoing issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple incidents reported between March and November 2024, though most of these resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. There have been two encampment-related incidents reported in the vicinity of the property in 2024, one of which required cleanup. Additionally, there was a brief incident in March 2024 involving a carbon monoxide detector activation that was found to be non-threatening. Two applications to convert the two dwelling units to a bed and breakfast with four guest rooms were submitted but ultimately disapproved. The building's overall maintenance record shows regular upkeep with periodic issues addressed through permits and corrections, though the repeated fire system violations suggest an area requiring ongoing attention.

Risk rating

How 29-31 Collingwood St'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 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 613 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 60.3%
Moderate concern 24.2%
Severe concern 15.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
