Initial analysis

The property at 450-452 29th Street in Noe Valley is a 1-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, featuring 2 units under the ownership of Susan M Maher Lvg Tr. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being a comprehensive gas line replacement in 2015 covering approximately 100 feet. Other notable improvements include window replacements in 2017 (compliant with energy efficiency standards), electrical upgrades for a furnace circuit in 2003, and various structural repairs in 1989 addressing fungus damage and garage modifications. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including bathroom remodeling in 1993 and mud wall repairs in 1986, though some permits from the 1980s and 1990s are marked as expired.

Recent civic engagement around the property has primarily involved parking-related issues, with multiple reports of illegal parking incidents between 2021 and 2024, though most cases resulted in no vehicle location or citation issuance. A tree root-related sidewalk issue was reported in October 2024 and remains open, and there was a noise complaint in June 2022 related to "other reallocate" activities. While the building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and improvements, the frequency of parking enforcement calls in the vicinity suggests ongoing challenges with parking management in the area. The property's permit history indicates active property management, with significant investments in infrastructure maintenance and upgrades over the years, including roof work (1999) and various structural improvements.

Risk rating

How 450-452 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.7%
Moderate concern 12.5%
Severe concern 4.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
