Initial analysis

The three-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 2515 Scott Street in Pacific Heights, currently owned by Dagmar Dolby Tr, has a mixed maintenance and compliance history since its construction in 1900. Most recently, there was a sewage back-up incident in December 2024 and several parking enforcement issues have been documented throughout 2024. The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with multiple violations recorded between 2021 and 2023, including issues with emergency lighting and corridor penetrations, though these were subsequently abated. A significant renovation project occurred in 2000-2001 to convert the building from five units to three legal units, which included various improvements such as a garage expansion and the installation of a basement fire sprinkler system, though the permit for this work expired. More recent improvements include a roof guardrail replacement in 2019 ($25,000) and various electrical upgrades in 2009, including new lighting, receptacles, and safety circuits. The property has experienced multiple false fire alarms and system malfunctions over the years, though no serious fire incidents or injuries have been recorded. Recent maintenance work includes plumbing updates completed in May 2023. While the building has undergone various improvements and renovations over the years, the recurring fire safety violations and some infrastructure issues, such as the recent sewage back-up, are notable concerns.

Risk rating

How 2515 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
57th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 414 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 52.2%
Moderate concern 42.8%
Severe concern 5.0%
