Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 139-141 Scott Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Jacqueline Y Tom Revocable, was constructed in 1900 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with major work performed between 2006 and 2009 including a voluntary rear foundation replacement, installation of new structural elements, comprehensive electrical system upgrades, and simultaneous kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units with associated plumbing work. More recently, a fireplace was installed in March 2020, and the building has had consistent maintenance of its mechanical systems, including the installation of two furnaces and on-demand water heaters in 2009.

Of particular concern are recent complaints regarding potential lead paint hazards, with multiple reports filed in late 2024 about peeling paint on the building's rear section, including one observation during an outdoor event where paint chips were reported to be falling. These complaints, filed in October and November 2024, suggest an ongoing maintenance issue that has not yet been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to major systems and structural elements, with completed permits for various improvements including electrical upgrades, plumbing modifications, and foundation work. However, the property has also experienced some management challenges, as evidenced by multiple recent parking enforcement calls for blocked driveways and sidewalk parking issues, with several cases marked as unable to locate or resulting in citations. There is also a historical record of unauthorized modifications, including a 2005 complaint about unpermitted construction work, though this appears to have been resolved. A sidewalk defect issue related to tree roots was reported and remains open as of August 2024.

Risk rating

How 139-141 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 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 257 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.3%
Moderate concern 13.9%
Severe concern 17.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
