Initial analysis

The property at 29 Maynard St in the Excelsior neighborhood is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Yosemite Capital LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past three decades, with the most substantial updates occurring in 2016 when a $65,000 kitchen remodel was completed, including the removal of a load-bearing wall on the second floor. This project was accompanied by plumbing and electrical work to support new installations, though these permits have since expired. Prior to this, major improvements included a complete copper re-pipe system installation with new hot and cold water lines and a new water heater in 2009, which was successfully completed.

A notable concern arose in May 2021 when a building complaint was filed regarding unauthorized electrical and plumbing work being conducted without proper permits in all areas of the main building, though this case was marked as not active. Most recently, there has been a significant pattern of parking enforcement issues in the vicinity of the property, with multiple citations issued between August and September 2024 for sidewalk parking and driveway blocking violations, with at least four cases resulting in citations being issued. While these parking issues represent the most recent and frequent concerns related to the property, they primarily affect the public right-of-way rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 29 Maynard 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.
