Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 2155 Scott Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Scott Street Apartments LLC, is a three-story structure built in 1900. The building's permit history shows several significant renovation attempts between 1997 and 2010, including kitchen relocation work in 1998, unit merging on the second floor, and fire sprinkler modifications in 1997. A siding replacement in 2017 was completed in response to a complaint about adjacent roofing work. More recently, there have been multiple flooding incidents on the street near the property throughout 2023-2024, including four sewer-related complaints between December 2023 and February 2024, though these are external to the building itself. The building has experienced various fire alarm activations between 2009 and 2010, including CO detector malfunctions and system tests, but no actual fires or civilian injuries have been reported. A notable complaint regarding heating issues was filed in August 2018 regarding cold air through heating vents, though this is no longer active. The property has had two street space permits issued, one in 2006 and another in 2016, and experienced a garbage and debris issue on the street in August 2024, which has since been resolved. While the building has undergone various improvements over the years, including a $14,000 reroofing project in 2003, many of the older permits from the late 1990s and early 2000s are now expired and completed permits are presently quite limited.

Risk rating

How 2155 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
52th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 462 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.

Number of units

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

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.1%
Moderate concern 22.0%
Severe concern 18.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
