Initial analysis

The property at 3236-3240 Scott Street is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1914 and currently owned by DMZ LLC. The building has undergone significant commercial renovations in recent years, including the most recent conversion to a coffee shop in 2023, which involved both structural changes (e.g., reconfigured floor plan, electrical and plumbing work) and previous modifications in 2022 costing $50,000. Earlier improvements included a 2017 conversion of vacant retail space to a hair salon, window replacements on the second floor front facade in 2016, and various seismic and safety enhancements between 2016-2017. A notable concern emerged in March 2024 when multiple fire code violations were issued for operating without the proper permits, though these were subsequently corrected.

The building has maintained active engagement with city services, as evidenced by various 311 calls and response actions between 2022-2024. Recent calls have addressed issues such as shared spaces violations, clear path of travel concerns, and sidewalk obstructions. The property has undergone essential maintenance work, including reroofing in 2016 and window replacements, with a commitment to building safety demonstrated through the completion of seismic retrofitting and various structural improvements. While the recent fire code violations in 2024 raise some concerns, it's worth noting that these were promptly addressed, and the building has shown consistent investment in improvements and compliance with city requirements over its recent history.

Risk rating

How 3236-3240 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
46th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 534 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.

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.

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 76.2%
Moderate concern 11.4%
Severe concern 12.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
