Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 245 Sanchez Street, owned by Losh Moora Revoc Survivors, was constructed in 1920 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being the $45,000 replacement of second means of egress wood stairs in 2022. Other important maintenance included a re-roofing project in 2018 ($16,000) and the installation of a steam boiler in 2008. The building has faced multiple safety and maintenance challenges, particularly regarding stair repairs, which generated violations in both 2002 and 2011. The 2011 routine inspection revealed several concerning issues, including problems with stairs, fire safety features (fire proofing and extinguishers), emergency egress obstructions, and potential lead paint concerns, though all these violations were ultimately abated by September 2011.

The property has experienced recurring parking-related issues near the building, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2021 and 2024, though most were resolved without citation upon police arrival. Recent incidents of concern include a September 2024 report of human waste or urine on the street near the property. Historical records from 1996 show the property received approval for certain replacement work under a specific interpretation allowing exact replacement of existing structures. A single fire incident is recorded as a false alarm with no injuries reported. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep, with significant investments in safety features, particularly regarding egress and fire safety systems.

Risk rating

How 245 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
52th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 613 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.

Number of units

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

Building age

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

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 51.9%
Moderate concern 24.7%
Severe concern 23.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
