Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 200-202 Downey Street, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a duplex property built in 1900 currently owned by the Khedekar-Bhandari Family Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring in 2014-2015, including a complete foundation replacement, first floor framing reconstruction, and voluntary seismic retrofit costing $70,000. During this period, there were several building violations filed in September 2015 related to unauthorized work, including concerns about an allegedly illegal in-law unit, French drain installation, and miscellaneous electrical and plumbing work, though these violations were subsequently abated.

The property has undergone numerous improvements since 2012, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, installation of new windows (2006), deck replacement, and various electrical and plumbing updates. In late 2015, the building underwent comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, including the installation of new outlets, switches, water lines, and a French drain in the rear yard, with total costs exceeding $13,000 for these improvements alone. Historical records show earlier work including front stairs replacement and street space permits. The building had some operational complaints regarding illegal units and renovation work in 2014-2015, but these issues appear to have been resolved based on permit completions and violation abatements. Recent history shows typical urban maintenance issues such as sidewalk cleaning and parking violations, with the latest activity recorded in 2024 being a sidewalk parking enforcement case.

Risk rating

How 200-202 Downey 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
62th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 133 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 72.5%
Moderate concern 14.5%
Severe concern 13.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
