2230 Sacramento St

Pacific Heights, SF 94115 0627008 15 units · 3 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2230 Sacramento St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1900
2 or more units
15 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RM1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-story, 15-unit apartment building at 2230 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Harold B & Zelda E Goldman, has experienced several significant events throughout its history, most notably recent safety concerns. The building, constructed in 1900, has undergone major infrastructure work including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade in 2006 and a complete reroofing in 2003 costing $23,954. Recent maintenance and safety issues have come to light, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding various concerns including a collapsed sidewalk, illegal parking, and multiple instances of garbage and debris requiring removal. Most pressing is an open fire violation from May 2024 regarding sleeping area requirements, following a recent fire complaint. The building has a history of alarm system malfunctions, with multiple fire department responses over the years due to false alarms, though fortunately none involving civilian injuries or actual fires. Earlier structural concerns included a 1997 incident involving a wooden back staircase where a tenant was injured, though this was promptly addressed.

The property has been subject to routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2011, 2013, and 1999, with most issues being resolved. In terms of infrastructure improvements, the building's electrical system received attention in 2006 with a new 400-amp service installation, and the roof was replaced in 2003. Recent planning records indicate an ongoing review for the installation of a Verizon small cell wireless facility in the public right-of-way adjacent to the property, intended to enhance communication services in the area. While the building has experienced periodic maintenance issues such as flooding (February 2024) and sidewalk defects (August 2024), many of these problems have been addressed through standard city services and permits. The property appears to be actively managed, with most documented issues being responded to in a timely manner.

Risk rating

How 2230 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
31stpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 664 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.
