Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2105 Scott Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Taylor Family Living Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past few decades, with the most recent major work being a sewer repair in December 2012 and a front deck deckboard replacement in July 2006. Three plumbing-related permits from 1996-1997 (two for fence replacements and one for a drain pipe installation) indicate some historical drainage infrastructure work, and there was a documented side sewer issue with odor reported in August 2009. The building's improvement history also includes some proposed but ultimately not completed work: a cancelled skylight installation in 1985 and an expired permit for a third-story addition and second-story remodel in July 1985.

More recent neighborhood activity has primarily involved public infrastructure and maintenance rather than building-specific issues. There were three parking-related sign incidents between 2019-2021 (one defaced and one bent in 2019, and another defaced in July 2021), and some graffiti on a pole in December 2014 that was serviced by the Department of Public Transportation. The most recent incident, in January 2024, involved construction equipment temporarily blocking the sidewalk, though this was promptly resolved within three days. While the building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and repairs, there are no recorded building code violations or safety concerns in the provided data, suggesting generally responsible property management.

Risk rating

How 2105 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
82th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 173 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 age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

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 80.1%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 4.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
