Augrented Insights Report

The property at 961-963 Sanchez Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently managed by the James A. Laird Intervivos Trust.

The building has recently been under significant scrutiny, with multiple active violations filed in 2024, including unapproved plumbing work, hazardous material storage in the garage, and various safety compliance issues such as electrical accessibility and handrail repairs. A particularly concerning complaint from May 2024 indicates unauthorized operations involving dangerous chemicals and improper waste disposal in the garage area, along with documented pest control concerns. While the property has undergone periodic maintenance, including window replacements and plumbing upgrades, most recent improvements appear to have been completed without proper permits, leading to active violations.

Historical records show various repairs and upgrades over the years, such as roof work in 2002 and stairway repairs in 2008, though some of these were prompted by notice of violation requirements. The building has maintained its legal four-unit R-2 occupancy status, but current violations suggest significant ongoing maintenance and safety compliance issues that require attention. Recent 311 calls from December 2024 regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk indicate continued exterior maintenance challenges, while previous parking enforcement issues and graffiti incidents reflect typical urban management concerns.
