Initial analysis

2590 Sacramento Street is a 14-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1924. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety-related improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit program (designated as Tier 3) with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, which involved multiple permits and costs exceeding $300,000 between 2017-2022. Recent concerning issues include several active building violations filed in July 2023, with citations for inadequate weather protection, fire safety violations, window repairs, carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements, and lead abatement procedures. A more recent complaint from March 2024 reported workers digging to the foundation across all garages, though this complaint is no longer active.

The building has a history of maintenance and safety concerns, with multiple fire safety violations recorded between 2015-2024, though most were addressed promptly. These included issues with alarm systems, extinguishers, and electrical systems. Recent complaints indicate continued maintenance challenges, such as wall damage and a loose staircase reported in 2023. Earlier building history shows various repair work, including roof replacement in 2002 and timber damage repairs in 2000. The property has also experienced periodic parking and sidewalk maintenance issues, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2024, including illegal parking complaints and pavement defects.

Risk rating

How 2590 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.

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.

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.

Building size

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 28.2%
Moderate concern 45.1%
Severe concern 26.7%
