Augrented Insights Report

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 503-509 Sanchez Street, owned by the O'Sullivan John Family LP, is a multi-family residential property constructed in 1911 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past 15 years, with the most recent major work completed in 2017 involving kitchen and bathroom upgrades including the installation of a subpanel, GFI outlets, and new fixtures, with associated costs of $18,000. Previous improvements include substantial kitchen renovations in 2012 ($9,240) and 2010 ($17,975), the replacement of a 400-amp service meter in 2010, and various electrical system upgrades.

The property has been facing some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding exterior conditions, with an active complaint filed in May 2022 about peeling paint and weatherproofing issues, along with concerns about lead paint hazards. A previous complaint from 2021 reported heating problems and a broken window, though this violation was marked as not active by March 2022. Historical records show earlier address-specific improvements including proper handrail installation in 2004 and Reroofing work completed in 1990.

The building's maintenance history reveals some recurring issues, particularly regarding exterior upkeep and window maintenance, with multiple violations related to surface conditions, weatherproofing, and lead paint concerns. While the property has experienced three cooking-related fire incidents (none resulting in injuries), these were all contained and posed minimal risk. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 show a pattern of garbage-related issues near the property, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans, though these are not directly related to the building's internal conditions. A notable tenant buyout occurred in May 2018 at a nearby address (517 Sanchez Street) involving two tenants for $50,000, though this is not directly related to the subject property.
