Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 129-131 Saint Marys Avenue in Bernal Heights, owned by Marcelo S & Georgen Mineses, was constructed in 1909 and is classified as a flats and duplex structure. The property's documented history shows several significant maintenance and improvement projects, including two major renovation permits from 2000 totaling $70,000 for extensive repairs including framing, painting, HVAC, electrical work, and roofing, as well as furnace installations and sidewalk replacement in 2001 costing $9,000. An earlier permit from 1989 indicates completed reroofing work.

The most recent record of activities at the property from 2024-2025 shows numerous incidents related to garbage and debris, with eight reported cases of loose garbage, yard waste, and abandoned furniture, though most were resolved without requiring additional action. There has been a recurring issue with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly concerning sidewalk parking, with multiple citations issued between August and December 2024. While most parking enforcement requests were either validated or resulted in citations, some cases could not be located by responding officers. The frequency of garbage-related complaints and parking enforcement actions suggests ongoing challenges in maintaining the immediate vicinity around the property, though many of these issues are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 129-131 Saint Marys Ave'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.
