18-22 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 18-22 Sanchez Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Jrm Financial Llc, has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple compliance challenges since its construction in 1905. Most notably, the building is currently listed as non-compliant with the mandatory soft story retrofit program (Tier 3) and has an active violation from 2019 regarding failure to comply with soft story requirements. Recent permits from 2024 indicate substantial planned interior renovations across all 6 units, including kitchen relocations, bathroom reconfigurations, and living space modifications, with an estimated cost of $320,000.

In terms of building systems, a 200A underground electrical service installation was completed in 2017, and multiple electrical improvements were conducted between 2003-2017, including lighting upgrades and circuit additions. The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most recent routine housing inspection from 2023 currently showing as active. Historical records reveal various violations and complaints, particularly notable between 2002-2008, including issues with stairs, security locks, garbage management, fire safety equipment, electrical systems, and water damage.

Earlier violations from 2002-2003 addressed multiple concerns including inadequate lighting, interior surface problems, and various fire safety compliance issues, all of which were officially abated. While the building has undergone various repairs and system upgrades over the years, including stair repairs in 2002 and 2007, the persistent soft story non-compliance and recent active housing inspection indicate ongoing building maintenance and safety compliance challenges. The property has also experienced occasional street-related issues as documented in 311 calls, primarily between 2018-2019, though these are external to the building itself.
