The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past 15 years, with the most recent major work including a 2019 furnace replacement in the garage (completed), 2017 bathroom renovation (completed), and a 2016 kitchen remodel (completed).

The building's amenities and safety features have been consistently maintained, with recent works showing attention to both aesthetic and functional improvements. The property has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by the 311 calls, primarily related to parking enforcement and occasional maintenance issues like graffiti and tree concerns, though none of these incidents directly implicate the building's conditions or safety.

Risk rating

How 120-122 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
