Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1430 Sanchez Street in Noe Valley, owned by Lambourne Nicholas P & Smar, was constructed in 1903 and contains three units. The building has undergone several significant modifications, including a completed reroofing project in 2007 valued at $16,000, and a major conversion in 2000 when it reverted from a two-family dwelling back to a single-family home. This conversion, costing $45,000, involved removing a kitchen from the upper floor and adding closets.

The property has experienced a series of safety-related incidents in recent years, with multiple fire department responses to alarm activations, though none resulted in any actual fires or injuries. These included three unintentional alarm activations related to smoke or carbon monoxide detectors, as well as a malfunction-triggered alarm. Additionally, there have been ongoing issues with abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with seven such reports between November 2024 and January 2025, though most vehicles were either gone upon inspection or found to be complying with regulations. There were also two reports of human waste or debris on public property in summer 2024, though one was resolved and nothing was found in the other case. The building's most recent permitted work was completed over 16 years ago, with no record of major renovations or improvements in recent times.

Risk rating

How 1430 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
44th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1052 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.2%
Moderate concern 29.1%
Severe concern 11.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
