479-483 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The 480-483 Sanchez Street property is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by the Peter & Linda Schwarz Trust. The building underwent a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2016 (cost: $65,000), followed by detail modifications, successfully achieving compliance as a Tier 4 building with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

Recent maintenance includes a repair to the rear exterior stairway completed in December 2023 at a cost of $5,000. However, the building currently has multiple active violations as of April 2023, including issues with fire safety compliance, interior painting, fire extinguisher maintenance, smoke/carbon monoxide detector compliance, garbage storage, and a required building permit. The property has a documented history of stair-related concerns, including a 1984 canceled permit for stair replacement and a 1985 completed permit for stair and deck repairs.

Recent 311 calls from 2022 to 2024 show recurring issues with garbage and debris around the property, while fire incident records show three non-injury events between 2011-2012, including two gas leak incidents and one smoke detector malfunction. A construction-related complaint in 2022 was resolved within ten days, and there have been periodic routine apartment inspections dating back to 2002. The building's location in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood has experienced typical urban issues, with multiple reports of abandoned vehicles and general cleaning needs in surrounding areas between 2022 and 2024.
