Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 39-43 29th Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Koutsoftas Family Trust, has undergone consistent maintenance and modernization since being constructed in 1900. Recent significant renovations include a comprehensive 2019 project costing $63,000 that involved kitchen remodeling, bathroom updates, window replacement, and electrical rewiring throughout multiple units, with additional office and bedroom modifications. Prior improvements show a pattern of systematic unit upgrades, including a 2015 remodel of kitchen and bathrooms, a 2013 update including new bathroom and furnace installation, and a 2012 project addressing bathroom additions and foundation repairs. The building's infrastructure has been actively maintained, as evidenced by multiple plumbing permits for kitchen and bathroom work, gas line testing in 2016, and various electrical upgrades.

The property has passed several routine housing inspections by the Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2009, and 2017, though there have been some maintenance issues noted in recent years. The building has experienced periodic external challenges, including instances of graffiti in 2020 and waste management issues in 2024, as documented in 311 calls. Historical records show attention to basic infrastructure needs, such as sidewalk repairs in 2005 and reroofing work in 1997. With proper maintenance and consistent upgrading of facilities over the years, the building appears to have maintained its habitability, though the recent complaints regarding external conditions suggest ongoing attention to the immediate environment is necessary.

Risk rating

How 39-43 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.
