Initial analysis

The two-story, multi-family residential building at 519 Sanchez Street, owned by Leslie C. Naify, was constructed in 1905 and contains two units. The property has undergone significant renovation work, particularly in 2018 when comprehensive improvements were made including kitchen relocations, bathroom remodeling, and the addition of a roof deck. This $450,000 project also included new foundations and stairway replacements. More recently, major systems upgrades were completed in 2020, including the installation of new furnaces, an air conditioning system, and electrical systems including 100-amp meters for both units.

The building has experienced several concerning incidents and code violations over the years. Notable issues include a period of electrical power outages in 2017-2018, a fire incident in 2018, and multiple vacant building complaints in 2018-2019. Between 2010-2017, multiple violations were documented regarding security, interior surfaces, smoke detection, and sanitation issues, though all were subsequently abated. Recent building maintenance activities have focused on resolving these historical issues, as evidenced by the completion of various street space permits and building system upgrades in the past five years. The property has also faced some community concerns, including graffiti incidents in 2018-2020 and various service requests related to building maintenance and street cleanliness.

Risk rating

How 519 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.
