Initial analysis

The 301-303 Scott Street property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Holly Thuman. The building underwent significant renovations in 2008-2009, including a horizontal addition to replace the rear service porch and non-compliant exit stairs, with associated electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work valued at $137,000. During this renovation period, two new kitchens and bathrooms were installed, along with a complete electrical rewiring including new service of 200 amps, lighting, switches, and appliance installations. The property did experience some regulatory issues in late 2008, with building violations related to an unauthorized wooden utility ladder and unpermitted work at 301 Scott, though these were resolved by February 2009.

More recently, the building has had multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, primarily relating to graffiti removal and street maintenance, though none directly indicating issues with the building itself. The property has experienced three documented fire safety incidents: two unintentional alarm activations and one gas leak, none resulting in civilian injuries. A complaint regarding potential unauthorized short-term rental activity at 303 Scott Street was submitted and subsequently closed as abated. Various street space and sidewalk permits have been issued between 2008-2009, and most recently, there were multiple graffiti incidents reported in late 2024, though these were addressed by city services and did not indicate any building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 301-303 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
79th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 216 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.1%
Moderate concern 13.9%
Severe concern 15.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
