3910 Sacramento St

Presidio Heights, SF 94118 1014007A 4 units · 2 fl · 1924

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 3910 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 1924
2 or more units

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

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.

Built 1924
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 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3910 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights, owned by Leon Wong Co Inc, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most notably, in 1998 the building received foundation improvements through the installation of wedge stud anchor bolts/holdowns. The property underwent exterior repairs in 2015, including stucco and wood repairs on the front elevation at a cost of $10,000. The most substantial interior renovations occurred in 2009, specifically in apartment #3, which received a comprehensive update including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements totaling approximately $18,000.

The building has experienced several inspections and violations over the years, with a routine housing inspection in 2008 resulting in multiple citations for structural and maintenance issues, including problems with the rear stairway handrails and exterior peeling paint, though these issues were all resolved by July 2008. More recent concerns have primarily involved parking violations, with numerous reports of blocked driveways between 2022-2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking management in the vicinity. There have also been three fire-related complaints in recent years (2022-2024), including one regarding blocked exits in January 2024 and another about open flame burning in February 2023, though both were determined to have no merit upon investigation. A utility-related issue was recently reported in October 2024 regarding a Pacific Bell utility box cover in the sidewalk, which was resolved.

Risk rating

How 3910 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.
