Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 24-28 Sanchez Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by William H. Sexton, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1905. The building received substantial electrical, plumbing, and structural upgrades in 2009, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel, electrical system modernization with a new 125 amp panel, and bathroom renovations across all units. Prior to that, in 2008, all three existing furnaces were replaced, and in 2006, new basement shear walls were constructed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity and basic systems, with earlier work including a reroofing project in 2009 and dry rot repairs in 1996.

In terms of safety and compliance, the building has had two routine housing inspections (2002 and 2011) and one fire complaint in 2021, with no significant ongoing issues noted. A fire safety violation was addressed in 2002 regarding combustible storage, which was abated within one month. Recent complaints primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk damage (2020), illegal postings (2021), and parking violations. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple noise complaints related to garbage collection times, which Recology has noted must occur early due to safety concerns. Three street space permits were issued in 2017, though the specific purpose and cost appear minimal. The building's overall record suggests regular maintenance and prompt addressing of violations when they occur, with no recent building code violations or major repairs noted in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 24-28 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
56th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 126 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.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

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 65.4%
Moderate concern 18.9%
Severe concern 15.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
