Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 282-292 29th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Torrano estate, was built in 1912 and contains 7 units. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, including two major kitchen remodels in 2011 and 2012, and multiple electrical upgrades, though some work has been completed without proper permits, as evidenced by complaints in 2010 and 2020. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in 2007 and 2002, with documented problems including mold on hallway windows, bathroom leaks, rotting back stairs, and concerns about water heaters. A notable cluster of violations was recorded in late 2007, including problems with drainage pipes, stairs, fire safety, and emergency egress, though these were all abated by December 2007. More recent history shows ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding water systems, with multiple 311 calls related to sewer and water issues in late 2024, and a current active complaint from January 2020 regarding unauthorized demolition work producing late-night noise. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to individual units, including electrical panel installations, appliance upgrades, and various repairs, with the most recent significant work being street space permits issued in 2018.

Risk rating

How 282-292 29Th 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.
