Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 3137-3139 Scott Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Caroline C Harrington Sept, was constructed in 1925 and contains two units. The property's maintenance history shows attention to critical infrastructure, with three separate reroofing projects documented: in 1991, 2005 (which along with the 1991 work shows as expired), and more recently in 2009 which included dryrot repairs and the replacement of a rooftop deck. A building complaint from March 2009 regarding unauthorized rooftop construction was investigated and remained open through May 2012.

The property and surrounding area have experienced various urban challenges over recent years, with the most immediate concerns being a flooding incident on the street in January 2023 and two driveway blocking cases in July 2023 and July 2024, both resulting in citations. There have been several parking enforcement calls, two of which required citations, and various municipal service calls including hazardous materials removal (oil/paint) in March 2022, a shared spaces violation in May 2022, and an illegal postings complaint in September 2018. The area has also experienced transient encampment issues, with documented cleanups in January 2020, and a wellbeing check conducted by police in April 2018. While the building itself appears to have maintained its structural integrity through regular maintenance, the surrounding area has faced typical urban challenges related to parking, street maintenance, and public spaces over the past several years.

Risk rating

How 3137-3139 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 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 164 are predicted to be safer.
