Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, 2321 Scott Street is a three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1965, currently owned by SF Multifamily JV II Prop O. The building has undergone significant renovations over the past few years, including a completed $65,000 conversion of a second-floor studio into a one-bedroom unit in 2020, and extensive renovations to units 5, 8, 9, and 10 between 2019-2021 involving kitchen and bathroom remodels, new appliances, and electrical upgrades. A notable recent improvement is the filed permit from August 2023 to upgrade the fire alarm system to current codes, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, which reflects the owner's attention to safety compliance.

The property has experienced some challenges during renovation periods, with complaints in 2020-2021 regarding excessive construction noise, COVID-19 safety violations, and elevator issues. A significant attempted expansion project to add three units in 2020 was ultimately canceled, though comprehensive interior improvements have been made throughout the building. Historical maintenance records show consistent attention to roofing needs, with multiple re-roofing projects documented between 1994 and 2020. The building has a past history of fire safety violations, particularly between 2017-2019, though these have been addressed through corrective actions. A tenant buyout occurred in March 2019, resulting in compensation of $58,323.18 for one tenant. The property has also required regular maintenance of common systems, with multiple fire alarm and sprinkler system inspections recorded between 2017-2019, indicating ongoing attention to safety systems despite occasional violations.

Risk rating

How 2321 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
