Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 3738-3740 Scott Street in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood is a two-unit structure built in 1925, currently owned by the William H Boggs Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent being a completed master bathroom remodel on the top floor in December 2020, costing $14,000. Prior major renovations include a bedroom addition at ground level with deck (2015, $120,000), comprehensive window replacements (2017, $24,000 and 2014, $6,500), and various kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects (2014, $45,000). The building's maintenance has been proactive, with improvements to energy efficiency through window upgrades, roof replacement in 2018 ($17,140), and electrical system enhancements.

The property has experienced multiple parking-related issues in recent years, with several documented incidents of vehicles blocking driveways between 2018 and 2023, though most cases resulted in "unable to locate" responses from enforcement. A notable attempted expansion project for an 18-foot, four-story rear addition was submitted for variance consideration but was disapproved. The building receives regular maintenance and updates, as evidenced by plumbing and electrical permits matching the various remodeling works, including kitchen rewiring and fixture upgrades in 2014. The property's recent history demonstrates ongoing investment in modernization and maintenance, with all major improvement projects having been completed as permitted, though one plumbing permit for a furnace replacement from 2014 is listed as expired.

Risk rating

How 3738-3740 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.
