Initial analysis

The multi-family residential building at 3729-3733 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights, owned by Payal Gandhi, is a three-unit, three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1905. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably in recent years with a sewer repair completed in November 2020, representing the latest infrastructure maintenance on record. In 2010, the building received a substantial upgrade with the installation of new vinyl insulated double-hung windows (12 total) on the rear facade, along with new siding, and a furnace replacement was completed the same year. In 2009-2010, unit 3729 experienced various improvements including a kitchen remodel with cabinet replacement and electrical upgrades for kitchen appliances, while unit 3733 received address modifications.

The building has a history of addressing compliance issues, with a notable cluster of violations identified in April 2003 related to building permits, stair repairs, security devices, and fire safety equipment, all of which were abated by August 2003. Routine inspections were conducted in 2003 and 2008, and while there were two fire-related incidents recorded (both with no civilian injuries), these were minor events involving system malfunctions and unintentional alarm transmissions. The most recent building maintenance activities include a water leak repair documented in 2020. A planning record indicates a proposal to modify the cantilevered bay and restore facade elements, though this appears to be an informational status. The building's infrastructure improvements and prompt responses to violations suggest regular maintenance oversight, with no active violations or complaints currently on record.

Risk rating

How 3729-3733 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, 89 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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

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 71.4%
Moderate concern 18.0%
Severe concern 10.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
