Initial analysis

1560 Sacramento Street is a three-story, 42-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by Nob Hill Villas Owner LLC. The property has undergone significant rehabilitation work in recent years, with numerous unit renovations focusing on kitchens and bathrooms between 2018 and 2022, including Unit #203 in 2022 ($25,000), Unit #108 and #111 in 2021 ($35,000 each), and several others. Electrical upgrades have been substantial, with multiple units receiving new panels and comprehensive rewiring, though the building is currently facing two open fire violations from 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements and alarm system maintenance. Recent tenant complaints have included plumbing issues, with a notable incident in April 2023 involving leaks following maintenance work, and concerns about construction noise in 2020. Historical issues from 2010 included pest infestations and maintenance violations that were subsequently resolved. The building's safety systems have been regularly updated, as evidenced by a 2017 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with modern safety standards and various sprinkler system modifications. While recent years show consistent maintenance and upgrading of individual units, the property has experienced some recurring maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing and safety systems, as indicated by the most recent fire violations and historical complaints.

Risk rating

How 1560 Sacramento 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.
