Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3052 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by John H. Peters. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past few decades, with the most recent being a comprehensive pest control treatment completed in September 2023 costing $23,400. Other notable recent work includes a roof replacement completed in 2020 ($12,000) and the installation of a new gas water heater in 2017. Historical records show foundation repairs in 1997, dry rot remediation in 1996-1997, and a sewer repair between this building and 3060 Sacramento Street in 2002, which was promptly addressed within one month.

The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, though most resulted in either citations or officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. Several service requests have been filed regarding street conditions and temporary signage, including illegal postings in 2022 and a moving-related sign request in 2013. Infrastructure maintenance appears to be consistent, with regular attention to critical systems such as roofing and plumbing. The building's permit history indicates active management of significant maintenance requirements, with most recent permits showing proper completion, while some older permits from the 1990s are listed as expired.

Risk rating

How 3052 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
92th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 77 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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
No violation 86.2%
Moderate concern 9.2%
Severe concern 4.6%
