3673 Sacramento St

Presidio Heights, SF 94118 1018010 3 units · 2 fl · 1908

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 3673 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 1908
2 or more units

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

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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.

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 property at 3673 Sacramento Street in Presidio Heights is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, featuring three units and designated as Flat & Store (4 units or less) under current ownership by La Cavera Family Living Trust. The building's permit history shows several improvements over the decades, including a 1994 conversion of the second floor to commercial use, window and sliding door installations in 1986, and a recent plumbing permit for mop sink installation in 2022. Notably, there was a concerning incident in 2004 involving unpermitted reroofing work that resulted in debris falling onto the sidewalk, though this was addressed promptly within a day.

The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the past decade, including two fire-related complaints in January 2011 (with one resulting in a violation). More recently, the building has been the subject of multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to construction noise, waste management (including garbage debris and litter receptacle issues), and parking concerns. The property underwent an ABC Type 41 referral process, which was closing and approved. The most recent significant building-related interactions include two construction noise complaints in October 2024 and several garbage-related issues in June 2024. There was a notable rent board inquiry in February 2024 regarding fee housing inventory, and previous complaints in 2023 concerned sidewalk blockage by café furniture and parking violations.

Risk rating

How 3673 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
31stpercentile
