Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3730 Scott Street in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood, owned by the David Andrighetto Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance challenges since its construction in 1928. Most notably, the building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 (with a cost of $120,000), which addressed seismic safety concerns as part of the city's earthquake preparedness requirements. Recent building improvements include a $40,070 fire alarm system upgrade in 2024 to meet state fire marshal codes, though this work is still in the "filed" status as of October 2024. The building has experienced recurring issues with its boiler system, with multiple violations recorded between 2017 and 2018 related to unpermitted boiler operation, though these were eventually abated through proper equipment replacement, including a steam boiler installation in 2018. The property has maintained its fire safety systems with three documented smoke detector activations (all unintentional) and one contained cooking fire incident, with no civilian injuries reported.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to critical systems, including the installation of a new water heater in 2011 and a replacement steam boiler in 2018. Recent infrastructure improvements are evidenced by the 2024 fire alarm system upgrade. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property's surroundings, including reports of garbage, waste, and parking violations, these were primarily related to external issues rather than building management concerns. The property's historical records from 2007 to 2019 show various building violations, including handrails repair and egress obstruction issues, though all these violations have been marked as "not active" and were generally abated through proper maintenance actions. The building's 2024 fire violation related to the alarm system has been corrected, indicating ongoing attention to fire safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 3730 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
10th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 889 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 33.3%
Moderate concern 41.9%
Severe concern 24.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
