Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 57 Sanchez Street, owned by Milan Joeyann Villanueva, was constructed in 1900 and contains 5 units. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over the years, with the most pressing being a series of safety violations in 2000 that included issues with stair repairs, fire extinguisher maintenance, gas meter instructions, and security features, all of which were resolved by September 2000. More recent building improvements include the installation of vinyl siding on the front of the building in 2000 and multiple street space permits in 2007 and 2011, though the 1999 dry rot repair permits expired without completion. The building has faced several concerning complaints over its history, including overcrowding issues in 1997-1998, significant maintenance problems such as a dropped bathtub, cracked tiles, and unauthorized construction, as well as water damage and mold issues in 1994.

The property has experienced periodic maintenance and service requests in recent years, with the most recent 311 calls between 2018 and 2022 primarily relating to street cleaning, sidewalk issues, and graffiti removal. A 2018 fire safety inspection found no merit to a combustible materials complaint. While the building's history shows various maintenance challenges, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, there have been no recent active violations or complaints directly related to building safety or habitability. The most recent building-related service calls have primarily concerned street and sidewalk maintenance rather than internal building issues, suggesting an improvement in the building's overall condition in recent years.

Risk rating

How 57 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
36th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 184 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.7%
Moderate concern 21.8%
Severe concern 32.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
