Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1356-1360 Sacramento Street in Nob Hill, owned by Joel Brown, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone significant maintenance and improvements over the past decade. Most notably, between 2013-2014, the property received extensive renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units, furnace replacements, electrical upgrades with complete rewiring and new lighting installations, and plumbing improvements. The building underwent a reroofing project in 2021 at a cost of $14,000, representing the most recent major maintenance work.

The building's maintenance history shows proactive upkeep, though there were two routine safety inspections that raised several safety concerns - one in 2009 and another in 2016 - related to fire safety equipment and smoke detectors, all of which were promptly addressed and abated within reasonable timeframes. While there have been various 311 calls regarding street and sidewalk maintenance issues near the property from 2020-2024, these were external to the building itself and primarily involved urban sanitation matters such as garbage, debris, and tree maintenance. The only notable incident involving the building's systems was a false alarm system activation with no fire or civilian injuries recorded. All these improvements and responses to violations suggest regular maintenance and attention to safety requirements by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 1356-1360 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.8%
Moderate concern 20.7%
Severe concern 34.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
