Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3616-3618 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights, owned by John Moran and Usha Nayudu Bu, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1902. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance updates over the past decade, including the recent replacement of a 40-gallon water heater in August 2023, following a pattern of water heater replacements with a 75-gallon unit being replaced in September 2022. In 2019, the front stairway was partially refurbished with terrazzo work costing nearly $10,000. The building has had periodic compliance work, notably in 2013 when a "wet bar" sink was removed and electrical upgrades were completed following inspection report #CC-7230.

The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, including a sewer service replacement from the building to the curb completed in 2008, window replacements in 2014, and multiple street space permits. There was a notable building complaint filed in 2000 regarding an illegal apartment construction behind the garage, though this is now listed as not active. Recent years have seen recurring issues with driveway blocking, with several citations issued between 2018 and 2024, and one documented case of a tree causing property damage in 2020. The building underwent a condominium conversion process, with records showing both approved and upheld appeals related to the 2 Unit Condo Conversion (DPW 2 Unit Lottery Bypass).

Risk rating

How 3616-3618 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
83th percentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 31 are predicted to be safer.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.1%
Moderate concern 17.2%
Severe concern 7.7%
