Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3256-3258 Scott Street in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1914, currently owned by Survivor's Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past year, including a substantial $29,700 window replacement project completed in September 2023 that involved installing 12 Marvin aluminum wood-clad windows in the upper residential unit, and a dry rot repair project for exterior stair planks completed in July 2023. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and compliance issues, with a 1995 installation of a hood/duct fire suppression system and a gas line repair in July 2015, though there was one fire-related incident in March 2024 that was promptly addressed.

The property has experienced some maintenance and operational challenges, most notably a rooftop fan issue in 2013 that affected tenant comfort, though this complaint is now listed as not active. Recent months have seen numerous 311 calls regarding the surrounding area, primarily related to garbage and debris on the street, though these were largely resolution-required situations rather than direct building issues. The building's commercial space has a history of restaurant-related permits and modifications from the early 1990s, including a full-service restaurant remodel and mechanical work for water heater combustion air. A Type 41 ABC referral for on-site beer and wine sales was approved in 2024, indicating existing commercial use. The property's recent permits and planning records suggest active management, with completed repairs and improvements maintaining building codes and safety standards. The most recent building-related activities have focused on window improvements and exterior maintenance, with no major structural or safety issues reported in recent years.

Risk rating

How 3256-3258 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
78th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 217 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

DBI complaints, owner's portfolio

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 78.8%
Moderate concern 16.6%
Severe concern 4.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
