Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 404 Sanchez Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a single-story flats and duplex structure built in 1902 and currently owned by Donna M Dimeo. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of exterior features, particularly in the 2000s, with several permit records documenting repairs and improvements to stairs, deck, and garage areas. Notable repairs include a 2010 dry rot repair project costing $4,000 that addressed water-damaged wood in the front facade and deck posts, along with a significant garage extension with roof deck proposal from 1998, though the status of this particular project is listed as expired. More recent maintenance work includes a completed 2022 plumbing project involving the house trap and sewer lateral on the sidewalk.

The property has experienced various street-level issues in the vicinity, particularly in 2023, with multiple incidents involving waste cleanup, including human/animal waste and medical waste (needles) in July 2023. There have been several parking enforcement calls regarding driveway blocking in 2024 and 2021, though in one instance, the vehicle could not be located. The street environment has required attention from Department of Public Works (DPW) for general cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, including the resolution of a lifted sidewalk issue in March 2022. The property appears to be regularly maintained from a building systems perspective, with permits indicating attention to both structural elements and essential services like plumbing, though the surrounding street conditions have experienced sporadic challenges as evidenced by the 311 call records.

Risk rating

How 404 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 are predicted to be safer.
