Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3125 Scott Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Peter & Diane De Martini, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several maintenance and regulatory developments over the years. Most notably, there is currently an active complaint filed on October 30, 2023, regarding an alleged illegal unit on the ground floor behind the garage, with concerns about an online listing representing unauthorized occupancy. This complaint is pending resolution through Housing Inspection Services. The building has undergone two documented re-roofing projects, with the most recent completed in March 2024 at a documented cost of $10,000, while an earlier permit from 1994 for re-roofing work has since expired.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning and loose garbage on the surrounding sidewalk areas, particularly noticeable in early 2020 when multiple general cleaning complaints were filed between January 9 and 29, though all these cases were ultimately resolved by the Department of Public Works. While these exterior maintenance issues were documented through 311 calls, they appear to represent more of an environmental concern rather than a direct impact on the building's habitability. The ongoing housing complaint regarding the alleged unauthorized unit represents the most significant current concern regarding the property's compliance with residential regulations and standards.

Risk rating

How 3125-3127 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, 112 are predicted to be safer.
