Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 206-208 Roosevelt Way in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood was built in 1988 and contains two units. The property has experienced several significant issues over the past decade, with the most recent developments indicating ongoing safety concerns. Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple fire safety violations documented, including problems with sleeping area requirements, sprinkler systems, and alarm systems, with the most recent violations recorded in October and November 2023 still showing as open. The building has a history of unauthorized modifications and potential over-occupancy issues, with building complaints filed in 2018 citing illegal group housing with alleged occupancy of 19 persons in unauthorized spaces, and earlier complaints in 2011 and 2012 regarding interior construction work and partition walls installed without permits. Historical building records show multiple permit applications for horizontal additions and deck construction in the late 1990s, though some of these permits expired.

Recent activity around the property has included several 311 calls in late 2024 regarding graffiti, sidewalk defects, and noise complaints, though many of these issues were either not found upon inspection or are still under review. The building's fire incident record shows several alarm system activations and false alarms, with no reported civilian injuries. A tenant buyout was recorded in August 2021 involving two tenants, suggesting possible recent changes to occupancy. The property's recent fire safety violations, combined with the pattern of unauthorized modifications and occupancy concerns, indicate ongoing challenges with building compliance and safety standards.

Risk rating

How 206-208 Roosevelt Way'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 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 98 are predicted to be safer.
