Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2827-2829 20th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1913, currently owned by Michelle Lynn Gee. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past 15 years, including a bathroom remodel in 2021 ($11,000), window retrofits and vinyl siding installation in 2015 ($14,440), and stair repairs in 2010. The building experienced serious habitability issues in late 1998 through early 2000, including safety concerns with the heating system, broken windows, and reports of unauthorized use of common areas, though these problems were eventually resolved. Historical records show maintenance work to address various violations in early 1999, including stair repairs and compliance work estimated at $15,500.

More recently, from 2023 onward, there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues near the property, with at least seven 311 calls related to abandoned furniture, electronics, and yard waste, most of which were resolved by city services. There were also three parking enforcement calls in mid-2024 regarding vehicles blocking the sidewalk, with at least one resulting in a citation. The building's fire alarm system malfunctioned once, triggering an alarm with no civilian injuries reported. While the property has seen regular maintenance and improvements over the years, the recurring issues with street cleanliness and parking violations in recent months suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep and neighborhood management.

Risk rating

How 2827-2829 20Th 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 405 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.7%
Moderate concern 20.9%
Severe concern 4.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
