Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3257 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Quan Family Living Trust, has a history dating back to its 1900 construction. The building's documented improvements include a completed reroofing project from 1997 and a street space-related permit from 2012 with an estimated cost of $1.00. More recently, from 2021 to the present, there have been numerous municipal service interactions primarily focused on street maintenance and sanitation issues, with particular attention to abandoned items and general cleaning needs. Between March 2021 and September 2024, there were at least nine recorded service requests, most of which were successfully resolved, including several related to BSM (presumably Business Services Management) matters and multiple cases of street cleaning or abandoned items.

The most recent incidents include an open case from January 2025 regarding a bent parking meter, and a resolved case from September 2024 involving an abandoned mattress. There are also two open cases from 2024 related to tree maintenance and traffic services. While these service requests suggest ongoing attention to external maintenance and street cleanliness issues in the immediate vicinity of the building, most cases have been resolved through appropriate channels, indicating proper engagement with city services. The building's structural elements appear to have received proper attention up to 1997, with no major building modifications or structural issues reported in the available data period up to October 2023.

Risk rating

How 3257 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
78th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 212 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Property class: multi-family flat

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.3%
Moderate concern 14.3%
Severe concern 11.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
