Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1184-1186 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley, owned by Abbott Living Trust, has experienced several notable maintenance issues and infrastructure updates since its construction in 1952. Most recently, there have been recurring sewer problems, with three documented sewage discharge incidents from the side sewer vent between June and November 2024, indicating a potential ongoing plumbing infrastructure challenge. The building underwent both exterior repair work and faced some regulatory scrutiny in 2017, when permits were issued for $10,000 worth of siding and stair repairs at the rear of the building. This work drew attention from the Building Inspection Division due to complaints about unpermitted construction activities, including unauthorized vinyl siding installation and rain downspout modifications. Earlier infrastructure improvements include a sewer line replacement completed in May 2015 and a sidewalk-related permit from 2004.

The property has experienced various maintenance and service issues documented through 311 calls in recent years, though many of these are not directly related to the building itself. These include some neighborhood maintenance concerns such as graffiti on a fire hydrant (December 2023), a blocked sidewalk incident (October 2024), and reports of garbage and debris (October 2024) that were noted as being on private property. The building's maintenance record suggests attention to structural upkeep, as evidenced by the 2017 repairs, but the recent pattern of sewer-related issues from mid-2024 onwards stands out as the most significant ongoing concern from both a maintenance and resident comfort perspective.

Risk rating

How 1184-1186 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1203 are predicted to be safer.
