Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 3542-3548 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights, owned by Jonathan Kaye LLC and constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance issues over the past few decades. The property underwent substantial ground-floor retail renovations in 2013, including interior improvements valued at $190,000, along with associated plumbing and electrical work. Previous improvements include reroofing completed in 2002 and installation of new awnings in 2001. Recent maintenance concerns center around tree-related issues, with three incidents reported in 2024 involving property damage, sidewalk lifting, and window impacts, along with a 2022 report noting that while there were no immediate safety concerns, there was acknowledgment of future tree maintenance needs.

The building has experienced some ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024, including sidewalk defects, graffiti incidents, and blockage issues. A notable fire safety concern was recorded in 2017 regarding an overcrowded place of assembly, though this was subsequently corrected. The property's street space usage has been regularly permitted, with four separate street space permits issued between 2013 and 2015. While the building has maintained basic structural integrity and undergone various improvements over the years, the recurring nature of exterior maintenance issues and tree-related concerns suggests an ongoing need for attention to the building's immediate surroundings and infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 3542-3548 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
38th percentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

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 65.2%
Moderate concern 22.1%
Severe concern 12.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
