49-51 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 49-51 Sanchez Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Ben and Devorah Jacoby, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in October 2024, dry rot repairs were completed on exterior stairs at a cost of $8,000. In 2015, a major renovation costing $60,000 was undertaken to replace concrete siding, windows, entry stairs, and flatwork/driveway improvements.

The building has maintained good compliance records, with a cluster of violations in 2000 relating to security and gas utility requirements all abated by October 2000. A 2018 complaint regarding overgrown vegetation in the backyard raised concerns about fire hazards and emergency access, though this was marked as not active. Recent urban maintenance issues around the property have included multiple reports of illegal parking and sidewalk obstruction between 2021-2023, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the reported vehicles.

Two instances of graffiti were reported and resolved in 2021-2023, along with a tree root-related sidewalk damage complaint that remains open as of November 2022. The most recent building permit activity (2024) indicates ongoing attention to structural maintenance, particularly in addressing issues like dry rot that can affect building integrity and resident safety. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep over the years, with particular attention to both exterior maintenance and compliance with building codes.
