Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 30-32 Roosevelt Way, owned by Siu Samantha, was constructed in 1936 and originally contained two residential units. The property has undergone significant modifications over the past several years, with major renovations completed in 2018-2019 that involved extensive bathroom and bedroom reconfigurations, adding multiple bathrooms across all floors, and updating kitchen facilities at a cost of $300,000. Subsequent improvements in 2021 included the installation of water heaters, central heating, and compliance work following physical inspection report #CC-8301, suggesting some level of regulatory oversight may have been required.

Most concerning is a recent pattern of complaints and inspections regarding the building's current use. Between July and August 2023, multiple complaints were filed alleging that the property, zoned for two-family units (RH-2), was operating as an unauthorized boarding house with multiple rental units sharing a kitchen, along with concerns about the building's height exceeding local limits. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure improvements, including the installation of backwater valves and various plumbing updates, though the presence of multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding the surrounding area (including reports of garbage/debris, blocked sidewalks, and parking issues) suggests ongoing neighborhood management challenges. The most recent building permits and inspection records date back to 2021, with no visible violations or active enforcement actions on record as of August 2023, though the status of the boarding house investigation remains unclear.

Risk rating

How 30-32 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.
