Initial analysis

The property at 3230-3232 Scott Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1917, containing three residential units and ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by David Ng & Tamara H Liang R. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years to maintain compliance with accessibility requirements and general upkeep. Most notably, in 2023, the property has been involved in the Accessible Business Entrance program, with recent permits focused on compliance matters related to PG&E covers and new signage. Earlier improvements in 2015 included substantial interior modifications such as wall removal, sink installations, and ADA counter widening, along with structural enhancements for shear wall detailing. The building's plumbing and electrical systems have also been upgraded, with major work completed in 2007-2015 including refrigerator gas line installations, multiple plumbing fixtures updates, and electrical relocations of switches, outlets, and lighting systems.

The commercial portion of the property operates as a restaurant with bar capabilities, having received various approvals for Type 41 and Type 47 ABC licenses. The property has maintained its legal status as a full-service restaurant in the NC-2 zoning district with permitted outdoor seating. Recent street-related incidents have primarily involved routine municipal matters such as parking meter maintenance and sidewalk cleaning, with no significant complaints regarding the building's condition or operations. The property has experienced typical urban neighborhood challenges, as evidenced by several encampment reports in the vicinity during 2022-2023, though none appear directly related to the building's operations or conditions. Recent permits and planning records indicate active management and compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly regarding accessibility enhancements and restaurant operations.

Risk rating

How 3230-3232 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
49th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 504 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Building size

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.5%
Moderate concern 16.8%
Severe concern 21.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
