Initial analysis

The property at 3630-3634 Scott Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by the Jeff & Renee Deming Living Trust. The building's recent history shows significant renovations completed in 2022-2023, including comprehensive bathroom upgrades (converting a laundry room and half bath to full baths), storage room expansion, and kitchen remodels, supported by corresponding plumbing and electrical work that installed new fixtures, appliances, and updated electrical systems. The building has undergone several major improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2009, installation of a new 200-amp electrical service with three meters in 2007, and a horizontal rear yard extension in 1986.

Of particular note, there was a building violation filed in May 2022 regarding two unpermitted windows installed on the southside property line, though this issue's current status is listed as not active. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm incidents, all of which were related to system malfunctions or unintentional activations, with no civilian injuries reported. A recent minor incident occurred on January 25, 2024, involving an abandoned Christmas tree that was promptly resolved by city services. The building's infrastructure maintenance is evidenced by a sewer line repair completed in 2009, suggesting attention to critical systems. While the recent renovation work and infrastructure upgrades indicate ongoing property maintenance and improvement, the 2022 window violation and history of alarm system malfunctions warrant consideration of building particulars and system reliability.

Risk rating

How 3630-3634 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

68th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 316 are predicted to be safer.
