Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 209-211 Octavia Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Roxanne Delphina Wong Revocable Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1946. The building's documented maintenance history shows minimal major work, with only two significant permitted improvements on record: a reroofing project from 1995 (which is now expired) and a completed electrical upgrade in 2003 that included installation of a 200-amp main service and panels with underground connections, plus some interior electrical fixtures.

Recent conditions surrounding the property have been notably concerning, particularly in 2024, with a series of sanitation and safety issues directly affecting the building's vicinity. The most pressing concerns include documented instances of medical waste (notably needles in June 2024), human waste (June 2024), and multiple occurrences of garbage and debris accumulation. The property has experienced recurring environmental maintenance challenges, with street cleaning departments responding to seven separate incidents between June and December 2024, including reports of graffiti (September 2024), various types of debris (including yard waste and bagged garbage), and at least one case of human or animal waste removal. While these external conditions don't directly reflect on the building's internal maintenance, they do indicate some ongoing challenges in the surrounding environment. The building's documented history suggests routine maintenance has been minimal, with no recent records of major repairs or improvements since the electrical system upgrade two decades ago.

Risk rating

How 209-211 Octavia 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.
