Initial analysis

This three-unit multi-family residential building, located at 2518-2522 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, is a 3-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by the Barbara A Kelly Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent major work including a boiler replacement in March 2016. In 2012, substantial renovations were performed including foundation work, construction of concrete walls, installation of a brick patio, and irrigation improvements, totaling approximately $38,000 in improvements. Earlier, in 1997, the building underwent multiple renovations including reroofing, plywood installation, and a horizontal addition, though these permits are now listed as expired.

The property's maintenance record shows one notable building violation related to fire safety in 2002, when automatic fire sprinklers were required over garbage receptacles - this violation was promptly abated within two months. Recent issues predominantly involve parking enforcement matters, particularly concerning driveway blockages and sidewalk parking, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024. There have also been some concerns about waste management compliance, including improper toter storage and illegal postings, though these issues appear to be mostly resolved or remain under review. While the parking and waste management issues may impact resident experience, the building's major systems and structural elements have received regular attention and upgrades over the years, with no recent safety violations or major structural concerns on record.

Risk rating

How 2518-2522 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
47th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 510 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.

Building size

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

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 43.6%
Moderate concern 36.5%
Severe concern 19.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
