Initial analysis

The property at 1531-1535 Sacramento Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood. Built in 1907 and currently owned by the Wong Ten Gay Revocable Trust, this flats and duplex-style building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related upgrades over the years. Most notably, in 2009, the building underwent a routine housing inspection that revealed multiple violations including the need for seismic bracing of hot water heaters, painting of walls and frames, and proper placement of garbage receptacles. These violations were all abated by June 2010. The building has had two roof replacements in the 1990s (1995 and 1998), and in 2008, work was completed to extend gas piping from the meter to the kitchen, water heater, and furnace.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and street-related issues. In early 2025, there were multiple reports of garbage and debris requiring Recology's attention, including Christmas tree disposal and other abandoned materials. The property has also had several parking-related complaints, with vehicles blocking driveways in 2021 and 2023. The most recent building-related service request was filed in February 2024 regarding the Rent Board housing inventory reporting, which was successfully resolved. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep and compliance with city regulations, with the most significant violations being addressed promptly through proper remediation.

Risk rating

How 1531-1535 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, 416 are predicted to be safer.
