Initial analysis

The 3545-3547 Sacramento Street property is a two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Presidio Heights neighborhood. Built in 1907, this flats and duplex-style building, currently owned by Scot E & Judith Smith Trust 20, consists of three residential units. The property's maintenance and improvement history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with significant recent work including a complete sewer line replacement in February 2023, where approximately 60 feet of clay sewer line was upgraded to HDPE, along with the replacement of the clay house trap with cast iron. Other notable historical improvements include a comprehensive renovation of a single-family cottage in 2001 involving foundation work, structural upgrades, and complete interior modernization (kitchen, bathrooms), as well as multiple roofing projects in 1999. In the early 1990s, the property experienced some conversion changes, with one unit (3547 Sacramento Street) temporarily converted to office use in 1992, though this appears to have been reverted based on current use designation. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance activities, with only minor issues reported through 311 calls, including a pavement defect in 2012 and a general cleaning matter in August 2023, both of which were resolved through normal city processes. The most recent permit activity remains focused on exterior improvements, including a non-illuminated double-faced projecting blade sign installation completed in 2019.

Risk rating

How 3545-3547 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
46th percentile

Out of 181 buildings in this neighborhood, 98 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 64.0%
Moderate concern 25.1%
Severe concern 11.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
