1184-1186 Sanchez St, San Francisco, CA 94114

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.
