Initial analysis

The property at 584-588 Sanchez Street is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1900 and owned by William & Anne Fox Mitchell, this flats and duplex building has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The most substantial recent work occurred in 2016, when a vertical addition of approximately 425 square feet was constructed, including a new roof deck, upper-level interior renovations, rear stair rebuilding for improved egress, and comprehensive seismic retrofitting of the entire structure at a cost of $223,476. This project also included adding a new bathroom to the vertical addition and received CEQA clearance. Earlier maintenance records show attention to structural integrity, with dry rot repairs completed in 1994 (including two flights of stairs and landings), and siding repairs to the rear of the building in 1996. The building received a new roof in 1989, and several other minor repair permits were issued during that period.

The property has experienced recurring issues with on-street parking violations near the property, particularly in recent years, with multiple citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways between 2020 and 2023. There were also some concerns about street cleanliness, with several reports of human/animal waste and loose garbage along the sidewalk in 2020, all of which were resolved. Two fire complaints were recorded in September and October 2013, though both were promptly corrected. The building underwent significant modifications in 2016 to improve safety and modernize the structure, including seismic retrofitting, which suggests substantial investment in the property's long-term stability and safety. The owners have expressed intentions to relocate and reconfigure the existing flats, combining upper and lower units while maintaining compliance with square footage and exposure requirements.

Risk rating

How 584-588 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.

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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.2%
Moderate concern 19.0%
Severe concern 23.8%
