Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2814-2818 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Flum Family Trust, has a documented history of moisture-related maintenance issues spanning several decades. Most recently, in August 2023, the building underwent dry rot repairs to rear stairs at a cost of $12,000, following a pattern of addressing fungal damage that has been recurring since at least 2012. The 1910 structure previously experienced significant fungus-related damage requiring repairs to window and door trim, step treads, handrails, and decking in 2012, and earlier repairs were completed in 1985 to bring the building into full compliance. The building underwent a vertical addition in 1996, and roofing work was attempted in 2017 but the permit expired. More recent improvements include gas-related upgrades in 2008 with the installation of new gas supplies and a Valor gas fireplace.

The property has experienced several smoke and CO detector activations, though none resulted in fires or civilian injuries. These include multiple false smoke detector activations and one cooking fire confined to a container, suggesting the building's fire safety systems are generally functioning as intended despite the occasional alarms. The building's location has experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking driveways, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2019 and 2024, though this is more indicative of neighborhood parking challenges than building-specific concerns. The most recent building-related work was completed in October 2024, involving a final inspection for previously approved work. Current 311 calls primarily relate to exterior issues such as street space concerns and signage, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 2814-2818 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.
