Initial analysis

The property at 1018-1022 Scott Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, built in 1890 and currently owned by Willis Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past two decades, including a complete reroofing in 2015 (cost: $21,650), removal of dry rot and siding repairs in 2008 (cost: $6,000), and multiple upgrades to its telecommunication facilities between 2004-2011 related to AT&T equipment installation and modifications. The electrical systems received a 100-amp upgrade in 2004, and a sewer line work was attempted in 2010.

The building faced multiple housing code violations in March 2008, primarily related to safety and maintenance issues including fire escape maintenance, weatherproofing of siding, security requirements, and mechanical equipment problems. However, all these violations were abated by April 2008. There was also an illegal unit complaint in 1995 regarding unauthorized living space beneath unit 1020, which was resolved. More recently, there have been maintenance issues noted in 2024, including rodent/insect infestation complaints, illegal postings, sidewalk parking violations, and graffiti, though many of these have been resolved or are still open for investigation. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm system malfunctions and a few other minor incidents, but there have been no reported civilian injuries from these incidents.

Risk rating

How 1018-1022 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

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 89 are predicted to be safer.
