Initial analysis

The property at 6 Rousseau Street in Bernal Heights has maintained a consistent focus on addressing fire safety systems since its construction, particularly regarding sprinkler installation and monitoring. Built as a four-story, two-family dwelling, the building's occupancy permit was initially revoked in 2014 due to incomplete fire sprinkler system installation, leading to multiple permit applications and violations over the subsequent years. Between 2017 and 2020, various permits were filed and completed for the installation of sprinkler systems, including a comprehensive NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system for the first floor, dedicated fire service lines, and a sprinkler monitoring system. However, recurring complaints and violations indicate ongoing compliance issues, with recent complaints in 2023 and 2024 alleging that not all building floors are equipped with the required sprinklers. The building has also experienced recurring issues with alarm systems and sprinkler/standpipe systems, as documented in official fire complaint records from 2012 to 2024, though many of these issues were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit" upon inspection.

Most recently, in late 2024, there has been a notable increase in graffiti and maintenance issues around the property, with multiple 311 calls regarding offensive and non-offensive graffiti on both the building and surrounding areas, though some of these cases have been resolved through appropriate channels. The building appears to have no units currently listed under its multi-family residential designation, which is unusual for this type of structure. While the property has undergone various fire safety system improvements and corrections over the years, the recurring nature of sprinkler system complaints suggests that fire safety compliance has been an ongoing concern since the building's completion.

Risk rating

How 2 Rousseau 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, 1072 are predicted to be safer.

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)
