Augrented Insights Report

The property at 3834-3842 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights is a 3-story, 7-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by the Remberto Sainez Living Trust. The building underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit program in 2018, achieving completion with a Certificate of Final Completion, though the retrofit process was marked by several permit revisions and some tenant relocation issues. More concerning are the recurring maintenance and safety issues documented over the past decade, with the most recent being a December 2023 complaint about mold in the bedroom and bathroom, and a June 2023 complaint regarding unauthorized commercial use of the residential garage for motorbike rental purposes.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent problems with water damage, window issues, and mold. Notable incidents include multiple complaints about mold (including a significant incident in 2019), window rot and broken panes, and various interior maintenance issues that led to housing code violations in late 2017 and mid-2018. The property has also experienced electrical system concerns, including an unauthorized water heater replacement in 2017, and security issues such as inadequate lighting and handrails that were documented but not immediately addressed.

Historical complaints from 2011-2012 mention blocked fire access due to scaffolding, though this was resolved. The building has been part of the San Francisco soft-story retrofit program, with work now completed, and a tenant buyout occurred in February 2019 involving two tenants for $102,200. While some recent complaints have been addressed and resolved through official channels, the recurring nature of moisture-related issues and maintenance concerns suggests an ongoing challenge with building upkeep. The property has undergone significant structural improvements through the soft-story retrofit program, which should enhance seismic safety, though this work was marked by some tenant relocation challenges during the process.
