Initial analysis

The 12-unit apartment building at 3434 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights, owned by Antonio & Rita Castellucci, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1926. The building is currently facing multiple significant compliance issues that warrant attention. Most pressing is its non-compliant status under the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program (Tier 3), with an active violation filed in October 2019 regarding failure to complete required seismic retrofit work. Additionally, there are two active boiler permit violations from October 2024 indicating the need for permit renewal for units with serial numbers 770P K80 07302 and unknown 286, and in 2021 the building received fire violations related to access to public ways/safe dispersal, exits/fire escapes, and building owner contact posting requirements, though these were subsequently abated.

The building's maintenance history shows regular unit upgrades over the years, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels (most recently in 2016 for Unit 5), window replacements in 2001, and exterior improvements like a rear yard deck added in 1996. However, there have been past issues with water damage and roof leaks (noted in a 2004 complaint) and various fire safety concerns including previously noted problems with fire escape drop ladders and fire extinguisher maintenance. The property shows some infrastructure upgrades, including a sewer line replacement in 2014, but the outstanding soft story retrofitting requirement and expired boiler permits represent significant current deficiencies. Recent exterior concerns have been documented through 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 3434 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 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 116 are predicted to be safer.
