Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 2694 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Frank T & Sally R Lopez, was constructed in 1900 and has a documented history of both fire safety concerns and recent service requests. In August 2005, the building underwent a routine inspection that revealed multiple fire safety issues, including problems with fire escape drop ladders, egress obstructions, and smoke detector systems; however, all these violations were abated by October 19, 2005. The building has experienced four documented fire incidents, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries: one building fire attributed to equipment failure, two smoke detector activations (one malfunctioning, and one unintentional), and one false alarm.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved street-related permits, with several street space permits issued between 2009 and 2019, including two permits for street space in late 2019 under costs of $1.00 each. In 2024, there has been a notable number of parking enforcement calls, with multiple reports of illegal parking between August and December 2024, though most officers were unable to locate the issues when responding. The property has also experienced some public space maintenance concerns, including incidents involving graffiti and street cleaning needs, though these are typical urban infrastructure issues rather than building-specific problems. A recent Planning Record from 2024 shows a DPW referral that was closed and approved. The building's documented history shows that while there were significant fire safety concerns in 2005, these were addressed, and there have been no similar violations in recent years, though the age of the building warrants ongoing attention to safety systems.

Risk rating

How 2694 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
48th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 501 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 62.0%
Moderate concern 20.0%
Severe concern 18.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
