Initial analysis

This two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located at 269-285 Sanchez Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood was built in 1900 and is currently owned by the Michael J Dooley Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over the years. In 2013, a reroofing project was completed at a cost of $12,267, while in 2007, there were ambitious plans to replace the brick foundation with concrete and convert a storage room into a five-car garage, though some of these permits were ultimately cancelled. The building has experienced multiple complaints requiring attention, with the most recent being filed in February 2023 regarding common areas and compliance affidavits.

Fire safety has been a recurring concern, with documented issues including blocked exits (2021), fire extinguisher violations (2017, 2018, and 2024) - though the most recent extinguisher issue was corrected. A foundation repair project from 2007 cost $25,000 and involved replacing wooden beams with steel beams. The property has experienced three heating-related complaints between 2014-2015, including one instance of inadequate heat in January 2015. Electrical upgrades were completed in 2005 to install new meters and electrical components for multiple units. Regular maintenance work has been performed, including stair repairs in 2001, though there have been some concerns about unauthorized work, as evidenced by complaints in 2014 regarding unpermitted interior wall removal.

Risk rating

How 269-285 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.
