Initial analysis

This three-story, 15-unit multi-family residential building located at 1359-1365 Sacramento Street in Nob Hill was built in 1907 and is currently owned by Grinsell Lake LLC. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, including a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2015 that installed shear walls to enhance seismic safety, as well as various unit renovations. Recent improvements include a bathroom remodel with electrical upgrades in 2019 (cost $9,000), and multiple kitchen and bathroom renovations in units B4, C2, C3, and C4 between 2014-2015, involving both plumbing and electrical updates. The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety systems, with fire alarm repairs/installation noted in 2021, though there have been recurring fire alarm system complaints in 2014, 2016, 2021, and 2022, all of which were marked as "Condition Corrected" or "No Merit."

The property has faced several housing code compliance issues over the years, with the most recent complaints filed in April 2024 regarding smoke/carbon monoxide alarm compliance and section 604 compliance-affidavit requirements. Historical maintenance issues included water damage problems in 2012, a building inspection in 2009 that revealed concerns about the fire alarm system, and multiple unit-specific renovations to address various code requirements. The building underwent reroofing in 2014 (cost $18,000) and has addressed various window replacements and electrical upgrades to meet current standards. The property's location in Nob Hill has seen periodic street cleaning issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris between 2017-2024, though these are external to the building's maintenance concerns. The building's fire safety systems have experienced regular inspections, with most complaints resolved promptly and no reported civilian injuries in fire incidents.

Risk rating

How 1359-1365 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.
