Initial analysis

The 17-unit, three-story apartment building at 1677 Sacramento St in Nob Hill, built in 1908 and currently owned by Linda A Grimes Revoc Tr, has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, as of January 2024, the building is in the process of installing a comprehensive new fire safety system including a control panel, smoke detectors, pull stations, horn strobes, and low-frequency alarms throughout common areas and individual units, with an allocated budget of $30,360. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $80,000, addressing crucial earthquake safety requirements. Recent fire safety concerns have been documented, with violations noted in 2023-2024 regarding sleeping area requirements and sprinkler systems, though most issues have been promptly corrected or had "No Merit" findings upon inspection.

The building has undergone several unit renovations over the years, including major improvements in units 14 and 2 in 2018 (kitchen remodels and bathroom upgrades), window replacements in 2013, dry rot repairs in 2011, and various plumbing upgrades including bathtub and fixture replacements. A series of 311 calls in 2024 have primarily related to street-level issues such as debris, encampments, and a minor sewage backup incident in December 2024. The building's fire incident history shows mostly benign incidents, including assist calls and false alarms, with no civilian injuries reported. While there have been multiple fire complaints and violations in recent years, the management has generally responded promptly to address the issues, as evidenced by the "Condition Corrected" and "No Merit" dispositions.

Risk rating

How 1677 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
