Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 510-512 29th Street in Noe Valley, was constructed in 1989 and is currently owned by Jason Drummond & Montserrat. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent major work being a re-roofing project completed in 2019 at a cost of $25,850, and the replacement of the house trap in 2020. In 2006, important infrastructure work was performed including the installation of a sump pump sand trap, with supporting electrical work completed by January 2006.

The building has experienced recurring sewer issues in recent years, with three documented sewage backup incidents in 2024 (January, February, and July) from the 4-inch sewer vent, which could indicate an ongoing plumbing challenge despite the earlier trap replacement. There was also a sewage backup incident in August 2018 from a catch basin, suggesting a pattern of drainage issues affecting the property. Additional historical improvements include the addition of a deck to the backyard in 2000 and various demolition and construction activities in the early 1980s. The property has had minimal public service interactions outside of maintenance and construction, with the only notable incidents being a July 2018 report of illegal construction (which was transferred for further investigation) and several reports of abandoned vehicles on the street in 2019 and 2014, though these were not directly related to the property itself.

Risk rating

How 510-512 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, 620 are predicted to be safer.
