Initial analysis

Located at 3720 Scott Street in the Marina neighborhood, this 12-unit, three-story multi-family residential building was constructed in 1928 and is currently owned by Glenn C & Melissa C Gee Rev Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a complete electrical system upgrade in 2023, including replacement of multiple circuit fuse boxes with circuit breaker panels, and a roofing project in 2024 costing nearly $44,000. The building's earthquake safety compliance has been addressed with a completed soft story retrofit in 2017, and the building achieved Tier 3 status with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, though there was a prior violation notice regarding monitoring fees and placard requirements that was abated in 2021.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems, including a new steam boiler and domestic hot water system installation in 2007. Recent fire safety inspections have revealed issues with street numbering and alarm systems in 2022 and 2021, respectively, though these were promptly corrected. The property has experienced various minor incidents, including multiple false alarms and system malfunctions recorded by the fire department, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Historical violations from 2005 and 2001 have been resolved, including issues related to egress obstructions, fire escape maintenance, lead paint concerns, and boiler system compliance. The building's surrounding area has seen occasional issues with street cleaning and parking enforcement, as evidenced by recent 311 calls, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 3720 Scott 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
