Initial analysis

The property at 1139-1141 Sanchez Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1940 and currently owned by Bfam Investments LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial electrical upgrade completed in February 2019, which included adding a house meter for common areas, new washer/dryer circuits in the garage, and upgrading apartment meters and panels with various circuit installations. Prior to this, a reroofing project was undertaken in September 2009 at a cost of $9,520.

The building's recent history shows some issues with the surrounding area, particularly in 2022-2023, though these primarily involved external matters rather than building-specific concerns. Notable incidents include sidewalk parking violations (October 2023 and February 2021, both of which officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles), various street cleaning needs (including handling of human/animal waste in June 2022, hazardous materials in February 2021, and loose garbage in September 2019), and some illegal postings in August 2023. A significant event was the tenant buyout at 1141 Sanchez Street in August 2021, which resulted in two tenants receiving $67,500. The property's exterior maintenance has required attention to various street-related issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition or management. The most serious sidewalk-related issue appears to have been resolved in May 2022, when a collapsed sidewalk was addressed and documented.

Risk rating

How 1139-1141 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.
