1126 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

1126 Sanchez Street is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1953, currently owned by Rachel E. Swann. The property has undergone significant renovations and safety improvements over the past decade, including a comprehensive sprinkler system installation in 2015-2017 that was subsequently the subject of building and fire safety complaints in late 2019.

These complaints alleged improper installation and connectivity of fire safety systems, with violations issued for sprinkler service requirements, exit pathways, and other safety postings. The building was converted to condominium ownership during this period, with extensive unit renovations including major works in Units 1 and 4 in 2015 (totaling $255,000), followed by subsequent improvements in Units 2 and 3 between 2016-2017 involving kitchen, bathroom, and laundry renovations totaling approximately $52,000. The property has experienced several notable issues impacting resident safety and comfort.

In 2019, complaints were lodged regarding potentially combined lower units lacking proper permits and certification. Earlier construction activities in 2015 generated concerns about public right-of-way obstruction during work hours, according to a complaint filed with the Building Inspection Division. While the building underwent substantial upgrades, including electrical system improvements and plumbing modernization with installation of new water services, heaters, and sprinklers, these works have generated multiple permit amendments and some expired permits, indicating a complex construction history. The building's recent history (since 2020) shows minimal major issues, with most recent interactions primarily related to parking enforcement and routine maintenance concerns.
