Initial analysis

The 3-story, 6-unit apartment building at 1463 Sacramento St in Nob Hill, built in 1912, has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in October 2024 costing $22,000 to replace the existing system with modern addressable components, including pull stations, smoke detectors, and emergency horn strobes. The building completed mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2019 as a Tier 3 soft-story structure, which included steel moment frame relocation and new footings and shear walls.

Historically, the building has faced various maintenance and safety challenges, including a series of violations documented in October 2009 related to fire safety, security, and plumbing, all of which were abated by June 2010. These violations included issues with the fire alarm system, egress obstructions, and the need for seismic bracing of hot water heaters. The building has a documented history of improvements, including aluminum window installations in 1983 and termite damage repairs in 1988. More recently, there have been three fire alarm system activations recorded in 2024, though none resulted in actual fires or civilian injuries. Street conditions around the building have been maintained through regular cleaning and streetlight repairs, with multiple service calls being successfully resolved between 2020-2022. The most recent fire alarm violation from July 2024 was also promptly abated.

Risk rating

How 1463 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.
