Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 217 29th Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Claudia Siegel Trust 2003, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent significant work being completed in 2017 when front steps and stringers were replaced at a cost of $8,000. Earlier maintenance included a reroofing project in 2004, deck modifications in 1994 to reduce its size and comply with code requirements, and various repairs in the 1990s and 1980s including siding repairs and staircase maintenance.

The building has experienced recurring parking-related issues, particularly between October and December 2019, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking violations involving a Honda Civic (license plate 7ZDA403), though most of these incidents could not be verified by responding officers. A more recent infrastructure issue occurred in March 2023 with a sewage backup that was resolved. While the property appears to have been regularly maintained over the years, with most permits reaching completion, some historical permits from 1992, 1993, and 2004 show an expired status, including a 2004 reroofing permit that was ultimately not completed.

Risk rating

How 217 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, 395 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.

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 85.1%
Moderate concern 9.4%
Severe concern 5.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
