2028 Scott St

Pacific Heights, SF 94115 0633008 12 units · 3 fl · 1966

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2028 Scott St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1966
2 or more units

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Built 1966
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2028 Scott Street in Pacific Heights, owned by East Peak Holdings LLC, was constructed in 1966 and has undergone several significant improvements and renovations over the years. Most notably, the property completed a comprehensive unit modernization program in 2021-2022, including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units (101, 102, 103, 104, 201, 202, 204, 301, 302, and 303), installation of new shower pans, and electrical upgrades with new sub panels. The building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements include a filed permit in June 2023 for a fire alarm replacement system to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements. The property has maintained a proactive approach to safety, addressing fire system complaints in 2024 and previous years, with all conditions reportedly corrected.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety and modern standards, with earlier improvements including the installation of white vinyl windows in 2008 across multiple units to meet egress-rescue requirements. Historical building violations related to fire safety from 2003 were promptly addressed within two months. While there have been routine safety inspections in 1996, 2003, and 2013, and some recent 311 calls regarding the property (primarily relating to the street and sidewalk), these do not indicate any persistent issues. The most recent tenant buyout record from April 2021 shows only one tenant was involved in the process. The building's permit history demonstrates ongoing investment in unit modernization and compliance with current building codes, particularly focusing on life safety systems and seismic retrofitting.

Risk rating

How 2028 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
23rdpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 742 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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