Presidio Heights, SF 94118 1010028 5 units · 2 fl · 1966

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 3532-3536 Sacramento St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1966
2 or more units
5 units
Property type

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1966
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 3532-3536 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1966, containing 5 residential units and ground-floor commercial space. Significant events in the building's history include a substantial fire incident in 2005 that caused serious damage requiring extensive repairs, including a $180,000 roof replacement and structural work, along with the installation of accessible bathrooms. The building underwent several safety upgrades in 2006-2007, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system, automotive spray paint booth with fire suppression, and comprehensive electrical improvements. A major compliance issue was resolved in 2005, when multiple violations related to unauthorized occupancy conversions and safety concerns were addressed, including installation of required fire safety features and correction of various life safety hazards.

The most recent work on the property includes a completed house trap and sewer replacement in December 2023, indicating ongoing maintenance of critical infrastructure. The building has experienced recurring parking and sidewalk access issues, with multiple documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways between 2019-2023, though these are external to the building itself. Recent minor issues include graffiti on the commercial portion of the building (2023) and a defaced parking sign (2023), both of which have been resolved. The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations since the 2005-2006 remediation period, with no active violations on record. The most recent routine building inspection occurred in 2008, and a separate 2019 report noted a collapsed sidewalk condition that was attributed to damaged utility infrastructure and corrected.

Risk rating

How 3532-3536 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
34thpercentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 119 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
