Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 455 29th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Catherine Gee, has undergone regular maintenance and several significant improvements since its 1966 construction. Most recently, in July 2023, the building received window upgrades including the installation of fiberglass windows at the front and in the light view areas, work that was completed at a cost of $15,000. The property has seen consistent unit improvements over the years, with major renovations in units 101 and 102 including kitchen remodels (2011 and 2017), and various infrastructure upgrades such as reroofing projects completed in 1984, 1989, and 2006 (the most recent costing $16,500). A notable incident occurred in March 2015 regarding construction debris migration into a neighbor's yard, though this complaint was resolved. The building had several violations in late 2001 related to fire safety and security, including issues with smoke enclosure doors and deadlatch locks, but all were promptly addressed and abated by February 2002. While there have been some maintenance issues reported through 311 calls, particularly regarding street cleaning in 2024 and a plumbing complaint in 2013, these have generally been resolved through appropriate channels. The building's history also shows regular compliance with housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2008, and no significant fire incidents on record apart from one unrelated smoking incident.

Risk rating

How 455 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, 1240 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 66.2%
Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 17.9%
