Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 3924-3926 Sacramento St in Presidio Heights, built in 1902, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over its history. Most recently, in 2017, the building received a roof replacement costing $11,000, demonstrating investment in maintaining the property's infrastructure. The building has experienced two sets of routine housing inspections in 2004 and 2008, during which time several safety violations were identified and subsequently addressed, including the installation of handrails for the rear stairway and repairs to fire-proofing materials in the side passageway; these violations were all abated by April 10, 2008. Historical records show earlier improvements including handrail installation for a three-step area in 1991 and sidewalk repairs in 2005.

Recent external incidents have not directly impacted the building's safety but indicate ongoing neighborhood maintenance needs, including an open curb or ramp defect reported in October 2024, and a history of resolving various public service requests such as illegal postings (2022), graffiti removal (2018), and temporary moving signs (2013 and 2014). The property was subject to multiple street space permits between 2016-2017, and there has been one building violation recorded in recent years, all of which have been resolved according to available records. The current ownership, Crandall & Leta Q W Ching 2, has maintained the property through regular permits for necessary repairs and improvements.

Risk rating

How 3924-3926 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
36th percentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 116 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.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.8%
Moderate concern 16.3%
Severe concern 10.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
