Initial analysis

The 258-262 Sanchez Street property is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by the Lee Family Trust. The building has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, with the most significant recent problems arising between 2010-2021. In 2021, there was a plumbing leak issue involving gray water flooding in the courtyard, while in 2013, complaints were made about black mold, lead paint, electrical problems, and fire safety concerns. A notable series of violations occurred in 2010, including lack of heat, window issues, electrical problems, and inadequate fire safety measures, all of which were addressed through subsequent repairs including exterior stairway lighting installation, heater replacement, and electrical work totaling approximately $4,700.

The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements over the decades, including window replacement (1983), stairway landing repairs (1990), and more recent upgrades to address building code violations. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations for driveway blocking between 2024-2025, and there are occasional reports of graffiti on the building requiring municipal intervention. A routine 2002 inspection revealed various building code violations including stairs, fire safety, and storage issues, and while all these violations were eventually abated, they indicate a pattern of maintenance challenges that has persisted over the building's history. The building's fire safety record shows minimal incidents, with two complaints in 2008 regarding blocked exits, though these were found to have no merit.

Risk rating

How 258-262 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.
