Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 233 29th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Janice B Schulz Revocable Trust, contains 4 units and was constructed in 1960. The building's maintenance history shows reroofing work was completed in 1989, with another roofing project permitted in 1999, though this permit has since expired. The most pressing current issue is the active set of violations from January 2020, where the building failed to submit required compliance affidavits related to Section 604 and smoke/carbon monoxide detector requirements, with notices of violation issued that have not yet been abated.

The property has undergone several routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services over the years, with inspections in 1999 and 2009 showing no outstanding issues. Recent external incidents include a resolved case of an overflowing city garbage can in January 2020 and multiple service requests handled by various city departments between 2010 and 2017, including environmental health and parking-related matters. While these historical records indicate routine maintenance and compliance issues, the most significant concern for current tenants appears to be the outstanding 2020 compliance violations regarding safety systems, which have persisted for over three years without resolution.

Risk rating

How 233 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.
