Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 3892 Sacramento St in Presidio Heights, built in 1918 and currently owned by Lisa Fong Survivor's Trust, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over the past several years. Most notably, in 2022, the building received a fire safety upgrade with the installation of low-frequency sounders in all sleeping areas to comply with San Francisco Fire Department requirements. The building underwent considerable unit renovations in 2011-2011, including kitchen and bathroom upgrades in multiple units (Units 2-4 and 6), structural improvements, and the installation of energy-efficient lighting. Major systems were also addressed during this period, including the replacement of the steam boiler and comprehensive plumbing updates throughout the building. Earlier work in 2010 included foundation repairs and electrical system upgrades, with the building converting to a 300-amp service with 7 meters and sub-panels.

The building's history includes two routine housing inspections in 2003 and 2008, which revealed several fire safety and security concerns, including issues with the fire escape ladder, self-closing doors, inadequate lighting, and fire extinguishers. However, all these violations were promptly addressed and abated by August 2003. More recent maintenance work, particularly in 2010-2011, focused on modernization and efficiency improvements, including the installation of new appliances, fixtures, and safety features. The property has experienced minimal fire-related incidents, with only two recorded service calls in the past, one for an unintentional detector activation and the other being a general service call, neither resulting in injuries or significant damage. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street maintenance and public space concerns outside the building, with no direct impact on resident safety or building conditions.

Risk rating

How 3892 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, 145 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.4%
Moderate concern 31.8%
Severe concern 14.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
