Initial analysis

3042 Sacramento Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Richard J & Hilda E Faziola. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 (cost: $18,000) to comply with modern safety standards, and the replacement of 9 defective electrical sub panels in 2020 due to fire insurance requirements. The property previously experienced serious issues that required major repairs, including a fire incident in 1993 that resulted in $175,000 worth of repairs, and structural work in 1994-1995 involving brick foundation replacement and floor joist repairs costing $80,000. Building maintenance and safety compliance have been actively addressed, with recent works including reroofing projects in 2021 and 2005, and plumbing updates in 2007. While the building had multiple violations related to fire safety, lighting, and handrails in 2003-2004, these were all resolved by February 2004. More recent complaints from 2019 regarding a gas leak and appliance issues were marked as not active, and an investigation into illegal short-term rentals in 2019 found no violations. The building's fire safety system has been subject to periodic inspections and corrections, with the most recent fire complaints in 2019-2021 showing generally prompt resolution of any identified issues. Recent maintenance records indicate ongoing attention to building systems and infrastructure, though there have been repeated issues with parking and driveway access as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2022-2024.

Risk rating

How 3042 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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 636 are predicted to be safer.
