Initial analysis

The 3425 Scott Street property is a 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Top Of S F Llc. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, including completed seismic retrofit work in 2016 (Tier 4) with a Certificate of Final Completion issued. Recent improvements include a roof replacement completed in November 2023 ($32,460), the addition of a new roof deck in 2022, and substantial interior renovations in 2016-2018 that upgraded units 2, 3, and 5 with new kitchens, mechanical rooms, and windows. The property has also seen considerable plumbing and electrical upgrades, particularly in 2018-2019 when multiple units received bathroom remodels, wall heaters, and gas fireplace installations.

The building has experienced several monitoring periods and compliance issues that are worth noting. A consistent pattern of street space permits was issued between 2018-2019, and there were multiple building complaints regarding construction work, permit compliance, and safety concerns between 2017-2020. Notable violations were addressed, including a complaint about an unauthorized roof deck in 2019 that was abated in 2022, and fire-related violations in 2020. Historical maintenance issues included chipping paint concerns in 2017 and a 2009 routine inspection resulting in several corrections related to fire safety and alarm systems, which were subsequently addressed. The property has had ongoing parking enforcement issues in recent years, as evidenced by multiple parking violation citations between 2019-2023.

Risk rating

How 3425 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.
