Initial analysis

The property at 29-31 Pearl Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Mission Dolores, built in 1907 and owned by Michael and Polina Myaskovsky. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent complaint in 2021 regarding loose/exposed wiring, though this violation is currently listed as not active. In 2000-2001, the building underwent multiple repairs and renovations, including bathroom modification and window/door replacements with a $15,000 permit, following a series of violations issued in September 2000 that required attention to multiple issues including smoke detector repairs, stair safety concerns, interior surface maintenance, and other general upkeep requirements. An investigation from 2000-2001 also revealed questions about building unit status and utility usage, suggesting potential unauthorized unit occupancy issues.

More recently, in the past year, there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings, primarily concerning street and sidewalk cleaning matters, including reports of garbage, furniture, and debris that were all resolved through appropriate city services. Between 2020 and 2024, the area has experienced several street cleaning incidents, with some involving human/animal waste removal. A sidewalk defect was reported in June 2023 but no conditions requiring action were found upon inspection. While the building has had numerous maintenance issues in the past, particularly in the early 2000s, most violations appear to have been resolved, with no active building violations currently on record as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 29-31 Pearl 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.
