Initial analysis

The 94-98 Sanchez Street property, a 4-story multi-family building constructed in 1909 in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, contains 7 residential units and is currently owned by the Alice Dudum Survivor's Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past decades, including a roof replacement in 2019 ($22,500), voluntary seismic upgrades in 2011 ($75,000), and the replacement of federal Pacific sub-panels in 2020. Earlier maintenance work included sewer repairs in 2007 and gas line upgrades in 2015.

The property has experienced several building code violations, most notably in 2002 when multiple issues were identified, including problems with stairs, egress obstruction, fire safety concerns, and security requirements - all of which were subsequently abated by October 2002. A routine inspection in 2011 found additional active violations related to lighting, fire extinguisher maintenance, and locking devices that have not yet been resolved. The building has a history of false alarms and system activations, including smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and security alarms, though none have resulted in injuries or confirmed emergencies. Recent maintenance activities have included various street space and sidewalk repairs, while current issues noted in 311 calls from 2024 include noise complaints, graffiti, and parking concerns, though many of these are related to public areas rather than the building itself. The property has also had multiple historical improvements, including window replacement in 1987 and reroofing in 1991, demonstrating ongoing maintenance efforts over the years.

Risk rating

How 94-98 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
21th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 227 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.7%
Moderate concern 44.1%
Severe concern 10.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
