Initial analysis

The four-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2301 Scott Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Brad & Elizabeth Bird Irrev, has undergone substantial maintenance and improvement work since 2012. Recent plumbing issues have arisen, including a sewage backup in December 2024, though this was promptly addressed. The building has seen significant interior improvements, including a comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodel in 2018 costing $75,000, and numerous plumbing updates such as shower pan installations and kitchen renovations. The property underwent substantial electrical work, with complete rewiring and new lighting installations in 2014, and additional kitchen and bath updates in 2012.

The building has maintained regular maintenance and improvement schedules, with street space permits issued regularly from 2017 through 2019, suggesting ongoing exterior maintenance or improvements. Historical records show various proposed modifications over the years, including attempts to convert the building to a hotel with individual cooking facilities, though these proposals were ultimately disapproved. Fire safety records indicate only false alarms or system malfunctions with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to parking enforcement and street maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, though a notable sewage discharge incident was recorded and resolved. The building's history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of facilities, with the most recent significant work focusing on addressing the plumbing infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 2301 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
54th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 443 are predicted to be safer.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

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

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 24.3%
Severe concern 15.0%
