Initial analysis

The three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 2139-2145 Scott Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Albert Wen, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building successfully completed its mandatory seismic retrofit in 2017 as a Tier 3 soft-story building, demonstrating compliance with the San Francisco building code requirements for seismic safety. The property has received consistent attention to maintenance, including recent reroofing work completed in 2021 at a cost of $30,220, following earlier roofing projects in 1998 and 1994, though those permits had expired.

The building's history shows proactive management, with a notable fire safety incident in 2008 involving an egress obstruction that was promptly resolved within approximately seven months. Earlier routine housing inspections in 1998 and 1986 also indicate adherence to housing standards, with all issues being resolved. Recent external interactions with city services have been limited to two minor incidents: a parking enforcement call in August 2023 (resulting in no officer location) and a general service request to the Department of Public Works in April 2019, both of which were resolved without indicating any ongoing issues with the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2139-2145 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
55th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 433 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.

Property class: mixed-use w/ SFR

Mixed-use property including a single-family residential component.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.8%
Moderate concern 20.8%
Severe concern 11.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
