Initial analysis

Located in Noe Valley, 440 29th Street is a modern four-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2015, containing two units and owned by Juan Carlos Cuellar. The property underwent significant development from 2006-2014, starting with the demolition of a single-family home in late 2006, followed by the new construction which totaled approximately $826,000. During construction, several compliance issues arose, including unauthorized work prompting violation notices in 2013-2014, though these were ultimately abated. The building features comprehensive safety systems including fire sprinklers, a 200-amp service with two meters, and modern amenities throughout both units. Additional improvements included the installation of a fire-proof corridor for child care purposes in 2015.

The building's history includes several notable safety and compliance events, particularly during the early construction period when issues with stucco facade stability were identified in 2010, requiring immediate remediation. A change of use complaint was filed in 2017 regarding unauthorized assembly/nightclub activities, though this was subsequently marked as not active. More recently, there have been multiple parking-related complaints in the surrounding area between 2021-2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or operations. The property has been regularly maintained and upgraded since its construction, with all major systems including plumbing and electrical fully brought up to code during the initial development phase. Planning records indicate proper permits were obtained and all necessary approvals were secured throughout the construction process, including CEQA clearance and Design Review approval in response to community concerns.

Risk rating

How 440 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 0 are predicted to be safer.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

No violation 92.6%
Moderate concern 4.6%
Severe concern 2.8%
