Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 50-52 Roscoe Street in Bernal Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure, built in 1963 and currently owned by Andrew W. Toy. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work involving window leak repairs in April 2024, which includes replacing windows on both the front and rear elevations at a cost of $23,000. In 2017, solar energy improvements were made with the installation of two photovoltaic systems totaling 7.82 kW. The building has previously received substantial upgrades including bathroom remodeling, furnace replacements, and water heater relocations in 2013, installation of new stairs and deck in 2014, and electrical system improvements including a new garage meter and lighting upgrades.

The property has experienced some maintenance and compliance issues over the years, with four fire code violations related to weeds and grass documented in 2018-2019, though these were subsequently abated or rescinded. Recent 311 calls between 2023-2024 indicate various neighborhood issues including abandoned vehicles, sidewalk defects, and garbage debris, though these are primarily external to the building itself. A tree maintenance issue was reported and accepted for follow-up in October 2024. The building's systems have been systematically updated over time, with records showing attention to plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance needs, suggesting active management of the property's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 50-52 Roscoe 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

Out of 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 408 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)
