Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 280-282 Roosevelt Way, located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1977, currently owned by Pohlman Herb E Trust. The building's maintenance history shows three significant roofing projects: in 1989, 1994, and most recently in 2011, when a $6,900 reroofing project was completed. A termite repair was documented in 1994, suggesting previous pest issues.

Recent service requests and incidents around the property area (2023-2025) have primarily involved street and sidewalk maintenance concerns, including multiple graffiti incidents on poles, which were mostly resolved through inspection and repair processes. The most significant current issue is an open case from December 2023 regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk, though the exact impact on the property itself is unclear. Infrastructure maintenance has been addressed, as evidenced by the resolution of a persistent streetlight issue in August 2024, where a faulty light was replaced and tested by city maintenance personnel. Historical permits show two Variance applications, both now closed, regarding ground floor structure and setback modifications, indicating past considerations for building modifications, though these appear to have been resolved without implementation.

Risk rating

How 280-282 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.
