Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 2850-2854 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Diana C. Corbin, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over recent years. Most notably, in 2022, two units (2852 A and B) received comprehensive renovations including kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical rewiring, and new plumbing fixtures, with each unit's renovation costing approximately $26,000. In 2019, the building required various structural repairs, including framing work on the rear deck and stairs, and window replacements, totaling $9,000. The property has undergone essential safety upgrades, including the replacement of five Federal Pacific electrical panels in 2021 and a backflow device installation in 2015.

Currently, there are active building violations filed in June 2024 concerning lead paint regulations and peeling paint, which present potential health and safety concerns. This follows a pattern of maintenance issues documented in past complaints, including water damage, window problems, and heating system failures reported in 2019. The building's electrical system has seen significant improvements, with multiple upgrades to panels and wiring systems between 2014 and 2021. Historical records from 2013 indicate a routine safety inspection revealed several issues, including problems with roof access, wood stairs, and security features, though these were subsequently addressed. The building was also subject to a carbon monoxide incident, though no civilian injuries were reported. While many past violations and maintenance issues have been resolved through proper permits and inspections, the recent active violations regarding lead paint require attention to ensure compliance with San Francisco's building codes.

Risk rating

How 2850-2854 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.
