Initial analysis

The property at 1033-1039 Sanchez Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by the Andrew Frazier Roth Trust. The building has undergone significant modifications in recent years, most notably the addition of a 2-bedroom ADU (1,485 square feet) in the basement completed in 2022, which required extensive fire safety system upgrades including NFPA-13R sprinkler system installation and related plumbing and electrical work costing approximately $29,500. Between 2018 and 2022, the building received several important safety improvements, including the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system ($4,000), reroofing work ($9,600), and the completion of various plumbing and electrical system upgrades.

The building has experienced several compliance issues and tenant concerns over its history. In 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding unpermitted work, including issues with common area electrical and gas lines, and concerns about the ADU construction's impact on garbage access. Historical violations from 2002-2005 were resolved, including issues with stairs, combustible storage, exterior door self-closing devices, and gas meter instructions. Recent building safety work has primarily focused on fire system compliance, with records showing thorough attention to safety requirements, including the installation of new monitoring systems and water heater relocation during seismic retrofit work in 2017. The property has no active building violations as of October 2023, though several 311 calls from 2022-2024 have been logged regarding street cleaning and parking issues in the vicinity of the building, which were all resolved promptly. Two fire alarm activations were recorded, but both were determined to be false alarms with no injuries or actual fires involved.

Risk rating

How 1033-1039 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.
