Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 29 Coso Ave in Bernal Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by the Day Garson-Darmet Family Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant structural and safety improvements over the decades. In 1988-1989, critical safety work was completed, including repair and replacement of the front stairs and landing, as well as ceiling support reinforcement with 4x4 beams. More recently, in 2014, the property underwent a gas line replacement, demonstrating attention to infrastructure maintenance, though there remains an outstanding expired permit from 1998 for reroofing work that may warrant verification of completion status.

The property has experienced three relevant street-level incidents in the vicinity of the building over the past two years, though these are related to public infrastructure rather than the building itself. Two cases of overflowing city garbage cans were reported and resolved in 2022 and 2023, and there was one instance of human or animal waste that was addressed and resolved by the Department of Public Works in February 2022. While these exterior issues were promptly addressed by city services, they reflect conditions in the immediate neighborhood rather than the building's internal maintenance or safety.

Risk rating

How 29 Coso 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 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 293 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.9%
Moderate concern 11.9%
Severe concern 10.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
