Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 614-616 Sanchez Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1975, currently owned by Robert Brian Higginbotham. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a completed reroofing project in March 2024 costing $11,000, which involved replacing approximately 1000 square feet of roofing material. In 2017, the building underwent comprehensive bathroom renovations, including the remodeling of two bathrooms with new features such as standing showers and tile floors, along with associated electrical work and plumbing updates totaling approximately $20,000. Earlier maintenance work included a window replacement in 2002 and historical reroofing work completed in 1991.

The property has experienced regular maintenance and upgrades, though there have been some safety-related incidents recorded by the fire department, including two smoke detector activations (one malfunction and one unintentional transmission) with no injuries reported. The recent history of 311 calls from late 2024 shows typical urban neighborhood issues including graffiti on public poles, temporary encampments, and parking-related concerns, all of which were generally resolved through appropriate city agency intervention. A notable series of infrastructure improvements was carried out in 2002, focusing on rear deck repairs, though this permit expired. The building's maintenance record demonstrates regular upkeep, with no major building code violations or persistent maintenance issues documented in the available records.

Risk rating

How 614-616 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.
