Initial analysis

The property at 3632-3638 Sacramento St in Presidio Heights is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Bulkley Family LP. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced various regulatory challenges over the years. Most notably, there was an illegal conversion of residential space to commercial use reported in 2005, involving unpermitted restaurant and office spaces, a rear deck, and a cottage conversion, though these violations were ultimately abated in early 2006. The property has seen regular maintenance and improvements, including multiple roofing projects (2004-2005), electrical upgrades (2004-2005), and facade repairs for dry rot (2008).

Recent activity indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance issues, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2025 related to water leaks, construction noise, and tree root damage. Between 2021-2022, there were several fire complaints regarding Shared Spaces and operating without proper permits, with violations issued. The property has also faced challenges related to a Shared Spaces structure, including potential hazards and obstructions, with some issues remaining open as of 2022. While many historical permits and violations have been resolved, recent complaints suggest ongoing concerns with property maintenance and compliance. The building's history includes various commercial use proposals and changes, including attempted establishment of a bar and cannabis cultivation (both ultimately disapproved). The most recent building-related issues primarily involve infrastructure concerns, including water systems and tree-related damage.

Risk rating

How 3632-3638 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, 18 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building age

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

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.6%
Moderate concern 13.1%
Severe concern 4.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
