Initial analysis

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 342-344 Scott St in Hayes Valley, managed by the Ronnie S Thierman Trust, was constructed in 1890 and contains 3 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements since 2000, including substantial structural upgrades in 2003-2004 with kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system renovation (including installation of a new 200A service and multiple safety features), and voluntary seismic improvements such as shear wall additions and plywood panel installations. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety with repairs to rear stairs and balcony structures, though there was one notable cluster of fire safety violations in 2008 that required resolution of multiple issues including fire extinguishers, self-closing doors, and combustible storage concerns, all of which were abated within two months.

More recent history of the property shows primarily routine maintenance and service requests, with the most recent building plumbing work completed in 2012 involving replacement of a housetrap and sewer line. There have been several 311 calls in recent years primarily related to parking issues and street cleaning, though these appear to be typical urban neighborhood concerns rather than building-specific problems. The property maintains a generally good record of addressing maintenance issues, with no active violations or complaints currently on file, and the most recent documented building improvement dates back to 2012.

Risk rating

How 342-344 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 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 339 are predicted to be safer.
