Initial analysis

2620 Sacramento Street is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by David S. & Mary Michaels Rab. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades over the years, with the most recent work being completed in 2022, including the replacement of a 2-inch sprinkler main and associated water lines (approximately $3,000). Prior improvements include bathroom renovations in units 201 and 202 in 2014 ($15,000), garage door modifications in 2013, and various exterior improvements such as siding replacement (2012, $20,000) and reroofing (2003, $12,000). The building's safety systems have received consistent attention, with a comprehensive sprinkler system installed in 1986 and subsequent upgrades, including a revised plan in 1989, demonstrating ongoing commitment to fire safety. Historical improvements include horizontal additions completed in 1987-88, and the addition of an off-street parking space in 1988.

The property has undergone routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1998 and 2014, with no active violations noted. A carbon monoxide incident was recorded in the fire incident database, but notably, there were no civilian injuries reported. The most recent service call was regarding sidewalk parking enforcement in August 2024, though the responding officer was unable to locate the vehicle. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the current ownership, with particular attention paid to plumbing systems, safety infrastructure, and unit-specific improvements.

Risk rating

How 2620 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
52th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 462 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.

Number of units

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

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 67.3%
Moderate concern 19.8%
Severe concern 12.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
