Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 229 27th Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1895, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent being a reroofing project completed in 2018 at a cost of $13,300. Other notable improvements include the replacement of six street-facing windows in 2017 with white wood clad casement windows ($6,900), a deck expansion and kitchen renovation completed in 2001 ($8,000), and a utility room wall modification in 1997 ($900). The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of critical building components.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved parking-related incidents, with two driveway blocking complaints reported in December 2023, though responding officers were unable to locate the vehicles in both cases. Prior to this, there were multiple public works service requests in late 2018, including one complaint that was deemed invalid and directed to AT&T. A construction noise complaint was recorded in October 2015, which was resolved through proper channels. The building's permit and planning records indicate proper documentation and approval of all major work performed, with no outstanding violations or pending permits on file as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 229 27Th 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
