Initial analysis

1025 Scott Street is a three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located in the Western Addition neighborhood, owned by Paul T & Mai V Le since 2002 and constructed in 1926. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements, including a completed soft-story retrofit to strengthen the garage level with plywood shearwalls and other reinforcements in 2014, and earlier foundation work completed in 1988. Recent maintenance issues have surfaced, particularly concerns about peeling paint (as of November 2024), common area conditions (active as of December 2023), and persistent hot water system problems with delayed delivery times and historical flooding issues reported in mid-2023.

The building has a documented history of compliance and safety-related issues, particularly in 2009 when multiple violations were recorded including problems with stairs, handrails, window repairs, and smoke enclosure doors, though these were abated by February 2010. More recent fire safety concerns were noted in 2019 regarding exits, fire escapes, and alarm systems, all of which were subsequently addressed. The property has been subject to multiple routine inspections over the years (most recently in 2023), and while most violations have been resolved, there are ongoing maintenance and safety matters that require attention, including a hazardous materials issue noted in September 2023 and an active complaint about common areas as of December 2023. The building achieved Tier 3 soft-story compliance with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

Risk rating

How 1025 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

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 120 are predicted to be safer.
