AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing.

Initial analysis

The property at 556-558 Sanchez Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building, constructed in 1900, currently owned by Fulruso LLC. The building has undergone significant recent development, including the addition of a new unit (unit #5) as part of a major renovation project that commenced in 2018, which included interior modifications to existing units and lightwell infill work, costing approximately $476,000. This project was followed by several important safety improvements, including the installation of 19 fire sprinklers on the ground floor in 2020 (completed at a cost of $21,400), and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2021-2022. The electrical improvements included a full rewiring of units and an attempted 400-amp service upgrade, while plumbing work focused on providing comprehensive utilities for the new unit and existing units.

The building has experienced some concerning incidents in its recent history, particularly during the summer of 2020, when there were multiple complaints regarding water service interruptions lasting over 24 hours, with tenants reporting inadequate notification and no alternate water source provided during construction work. These issues were formally documented in five housing complaints filed between August 27-31, 2020. Additionally, the property has undergone routine fire safety inspections in the past, with violations noted in 2001 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance and self-closing doors, though these were resolved within two months. The building's recent construction work has been concentrated on adding and integrating the new unit, with associated improvements to safety systems and infrastructure, though it has generated some tenant discomfort during the process. Various street and parking-related issues have been documented through 311 calls, including concerns about garbage receptacle management and temporary parking signs, which appear to be typical urban residential issues.

Risk rating

How 556-558 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
12thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1125 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.
