Initial analysis

The property at 1262-1264 Sacramento St is a 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in Nob Hill, owned by the Virginia H Knight Living Trust and constructed in 1910. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years, including a complete reroofing in 2015 ($16,500), structural and living space remodeling in 2011 ($65,000) involving garage reinforcement and electrical upgrades, and plumbing work such as house trap replacement in 2022 and water heater corrections in 2016. The building has maintained active compliance with fire safety regulations, though there have been periodic fire code violations noted in 2019 and 2021, along with multiple false fire alarm incidents recorded by fire services, none resulting in injuries.

Recent concerns have primarily centered around maintenance and building systems, including a 2024 complaint about an inadequately maintained building exterior (invalid case), multiple reports of missed driveway access citations, and issues with a missing side sewer vent cover in late 2024. Historical records show a series of routine inspections from 2000 through 2016, during which various code violations were identified and subsequently abated, including fire extinguisher requirements, self-closing doors, and smoke alarm certifications. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety requirements, with substantial investment in improvements and prompt addressing of violations when they occur.

Risk rating

How 1262-1264 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

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 349 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.1%
Moderate concern 24.3%
Severe concern 21.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
