Initial analysis

Located in the Presidio Heights neighborhood, 3585-3587 Sacramento Street is a three-story multi-family residential building with three units, constructed in 1926, and managed by the Low Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant modifications and has a history of both building improvements and regulatory challenges. Most recently, in December 2023, a reroofing project was permitted with a cost of $11,500. The building's history includes notable HVAC-related installations in 2011, when a cooling tower was controversially added without proper permits, leading to multiple violations that were eventually abated in May 2012. This installation was accompanied by issues related to water connections, dryer exhaust ducts, and a commercial boiler, prompting the need for subsequent permits to legalize the work.

The property has seen various improvements and modifications over the years, including foundation and floor joist work in 1996, and attempts to build a storage room in 1989 (cancelled). There have been recurring issues with parking violations on the property, with multiple documented cases between 2018 and 2023, particularly regarding driveway blockages. Other maintenance matters include a missing side sewer vent cover in 2019 (subsequently resolved) and multiple sidewalk-related concerns. The building also experienced some regulatory scrutiny regarding its commercial use, with complaints about operating industrial cleaning equipment in residential spaces and concerns about business operations in 2007 and 2011, though these issues appear to have been resolved through subsequent permitting and compliance efforts. The most recent building permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the property, with the 2023 roofing work indicating attention to building preservation.

Risk rating

How 3585-3587 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.
