Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building at 3536-3538 Scott Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by the Jeannine Ranuio Trust, is a 2-story flats/duplex structure built in 1925 containing 3 units. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a complete window replacement from aluminum to vinyl in 2004 (cost: $22,000), reroofing work in 1999, and multiple deck repairs and replacements in 1998-1999 addressing safety concerns. Between 2002-2007, the property experienced several violations related to safety and maintenance, though all were resolved, including issues with gas shutoff tools, exterior door self-closing devices, and an unpermitted sewer installation. The building has had three fire safety-related complaints between 2017-2018 regarding alarm systems and extinguishers, all of which were either corrected or found to have no merit.

Recent activity at the property primarily consists of parking-related issues on the street outside, with the most recent incident occurring in February 2024. Other municipal service calls have been limited to infrastructure and utility matters outside the building itself, including a pavement defect report in 2021 and two water service requests in 2013-2016. While the building's historical record shows a pattern of maintenance and safety compliance, the most recent violations date back over 16 years, suggesting that significant code compliance issues may be less of a concern in recent years.

Risk rating

How 3536-3538 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
