Initial analysis

77-79 Sanchez Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, currently owned by Sandoval 2006 Revoc Trust. The one-story flats and duplex structure, built in 1900, underwent significant modifications in the early 1990s, including a conversion attempt to a triplex with the addition of a third story in 1993 (though this conversion does not appear to be currently in effect) and the installation of a complete wet sprinkler system in 1994, enhancing the building's fire safety features. The building has a documented history of safety and compliance issues, with three routine housing inspections conducted in 2000 and 2004 revealing multiple violations requiring attention, including concerns related to fire safety (such as combustible storage and egress obstructions), security (self-closing devices for exterior doors), and sanitation (garbage receptacle maintenance). All these violations were officially abated by November 2000.

The property has shown consistent attention to maintenance, including a complete reroofing project completed in 1992. Recent activity at the address has primarily involved parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued between 2019 and 2024 for driveway blocking incidents. The most recent building-related incidents were parking enforcement cases in 2024, with citations being issued for violations. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing violations and completing necessary repairs when cited, though the multiple violations revealed during the 2000 and 2004 inspections suggest periods where building systems and safety features required closer attention.

Risk rating

How 77-79 Sanchez 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
83th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 49 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.6%
Moderate concern 9.5%
Severe concern 6.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
