Initial analysis

The property at 3687-3695 Sacramento Street is a three-story multi-family residential building with retail space, constructed in 1904 and currently owned by Spruce Sacramento LLC. The building underwent significant renovations in 2022, including an interior remodel of the retail store with new finishes, lighting, and ADA-compliant entry doors, with a total cost of approximately $119,000. During the same period, there was some controversy when roughly 1,800 square feet of stucco was removed from the west side of the building without proper permits, leading to a violation that wasn't resolved until January 2023. The owner then properly restored and repaired the original redwood siding as per the approved plans.

The building's permit history shows various improvements in 2022, including plumbing modifications for sink relocation, installation of new signs, and restoration of the building's exterior. Compliance issues were noted in 2022 regarding construction debris affecting the public sidewalk, though this was quickly addressed. Infrastructure updates include the installation of a new gas furnace with ductwork in Unit #2 in 2008 and electrical improvements to the basement area in 2007. More recently, there have been multiple reports of parking meter damage and garbage-related issues outside the building between 2023 and 2024, along with some instances of merchandise display blocking the sidewalk. However, these external maintenance issues appear to have regular resolution through the appropriate city services.

How 3687-3695 Sacramento St's risk score is calculated
