Initial analysis

2930 Sacramento Street is a 4-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1892 and currently owned by Bobby W. Tang and Xiu Zhen Chen. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2018, including structural upgrades such as the installation of shear walls, retaining walls, and moment frames, along with electrical improvements like Ufer ground installation for the new foundation, totaling approximately $62,000 in investments. The property has maintained a relatively proactive approach to maintenance and safety compliance, with the most recent building permits showing work completed in 2006 for kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical upgrades, and lighting improvements, as well as electrical work from 1986 involving plaster removal and sheetrock installation.

The building has experienced several safety inspections and encountered some violations, most notably in December 2002, when multiple security-related issues were documented, including problems with window frames, fire escape maintenance, and security viewer requirements. These violations were all resolved by January 2003. More recent fire safety inspections in 2018, 2021, and 2022 revealed issues with alarm systems and sprinkler systems, though these were promptly corrected, with no injuries or fire incidents reported during this period. The property has had periodic routine safety inspections (most recently in 2013) and has experienced three documented false alarm situations related to the fire alarm system, with no civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily concerned street cleaning matters, suggesting the building's immediate surroundings experience typical urban maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 2930 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
33th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 645 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

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

Moderate concern 30.9%
Severe concern 11.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
