Initial analysis

The 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 144 Dore Street in the South of Market neighborhood, owned by Evan Fairchild, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant renovations in recent years. The most substantial recent work includes a completed bathroom installation at the garage level in December 2023 (with subsequent revision to modify the project in March 2024), window replacement in September 2023, and a kitchen remodeling project in August 2021 that included comprehensive electrical work and new installations. The building has experienced various infrastructure improvements over the years, including rerooofing projects in 2019 and 1990, and the installation of three electric heaters with thermostats in 2003.

Historical issues in the building's record raise some concerns, particularly regarding incidents in 2003, when multiple violations were documented including ceiling openings in the kitchen, exposed wiring, water damage causing ceiling issues, and heating problems. These violations were officially abated by January 2004. Additional historical complaints from 1998-1995 suggest past concerns about structural integrity, illegal electrical work, and an unauthorized unit, though all these issues were resolved by their respective abatement dates. Recent maintenance activity has focused on upgrading and modernizing the building's infrastructure, with particular attention to electrical systems, plumbing, and general living conditions. The property has also experienced some neighborhood-level issues in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 related to street cleaning and parking enforcement, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 144-146 Dore 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
94th percentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 26 are predicted to be safer.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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