Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 504-506 Roosevelt Way, owned by Michael K & Edith J Souter, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The two-story flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a complete window and patio door retrofit in 2020, involving the installation of 16 architectural-grade aluminum windows at a cost of $16,246. Prior maintenance included a south lightwell siding repair in 2012 (approximately 360 sq. ft.) and a drain replacement in the kitchen lightwell, as well as multiple roofing projects in 1989, 1990, and 2008. In 2000, a notable modification was made to enlarge the living room by enclosing part of the existing front deck.

The building's location has experienced occasional neighborhood issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2020-2024, primarily related to graffiti and abandoned vehicles. Most recently, in December 2024, there was a public graffiti incident near the property, though this was promptly resolved. A fire alarm system issue was reported and corrected in October 2020, along with a water or steam leak incident recorded by the fire department with no civilian injuries. The property has maintained compliance with housing regulations, as indicated by a regular fee and housing inventory review in October 2023, which was resolved through proper documentation. The building's maintenance record shows consistent attention to basic infrastructure needs, with all documented permits showing completed status, suggesting responsible ownership and upkeep of the property.

Risk rating

How 504-506 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, 158 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.1%
Moderate concern 15.0%
Severe concern 9.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
