Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 127-129 Scott Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Lior & Tamar Sahaf, has undergone significant renovations since 2021. The most substantial work occurred between December 2021 and April 2022, involving a comprehensive remodel of both units, including expansion of the lower unit, window replacements, bathroom renovations, and kitchen relocations, with an estimated cost of $242,500. The property has seen several recent developments, including the installation of a new gas fireplace in September 2023, followed by associated plumbing work in March 2024, though this appears to be a minor addition.

The building has experienced some notable issues that required attention, particularly in 2023 when violations were issued regarding unauthorized construction work, including unpermitted exterior stairs and concrete walls. These violations were eventually abated in September 2024. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues dating back to 2005, including problems with electrical systems, sanitation concerns, and safety violations, though these have all been marked as not active. Recent infrastructure concerns include a sewage backup incident from November 2024 and ongoing issues with illegal parking and driveway blocking, as evidenced by multiple citations in 2024.

Risk rating

How 127-129 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.

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 729 are predicted to be safer.
