Initial analysis

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 380 29th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Peters Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance issues since its construction in 1908. In 2016, the property underwent major infrastructure upgrades including a complete reroofing project costing $11,000 and the installation of a new 200-amp electrical service system handling both unit and house meters, which were successfully completed. However, the building has been facing persistent safety and compliance challenges since February 2020, with multiple active violations related to fire safety, smoke detection systems, plumbing, and building standards. These issues include concerns about fire proofing materials, smoke/carbon monoxide detector compliance, and plumbing system compliance, all of which remain unresolved as of the current date.

The property has also been subject to routine inspections over the years, with records showing two earlier inspections in 1999 and 2008 that were resolved. A 311 call from December 2021 regarding a curb defect was recorded and closed, noting an illegal red curb issue that warranted a warning letter. While the building has received important system upgrades in recent years, the outstanding violations from 2020 represent a significant backlog of compliance issues that have remained unaddressed for an extended period.

Risk rating

How 380 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.

Neighborhood percentile
