Initial analysis

The property at 583-585 Sanchez Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1908, this flats/duplex building contains two units and is currently owned by Steven A Nichelson Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including significant work in 2009 when two new forced air furnaces and flues were installed, and in 2006 when a four-season greenhouse window was removed from the third-floor balcony. There was a verified building code violation in November 2005 regarding unpermitted greenhouse windows installed at the north property line, though this issue was resolved by January 2006. Historic permits show earlier work including horizontal addition (1996), reroofing projects (1992 and 1999), and various other improvements dating back to 1982.

Recent incidents around the property, particularly in 2024, indicate some challenges with the immediate vicinity, though not directly related to the building's structure or systems. These include multiple reports of human waste/urine, a sewage backup incident from a side sewer vent (August 2024), and several parking enforcement issues involving blocked driveways. The building's sanitation and maintenance concerns are further evidenced by reports of graffiti and waste issues in October 2023, which remain unresolved as of the latest available data. Other historical incidents include a detector activation in 2010 that was determined to be unintentional and resulted in no injuries.

Risk rating

How 583-585 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.
