215-217 Dore St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The property at 215-217 Dore Street is a single-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by the Michael F. Rudman 2010 Trust. The building has undergone several significant modifications over the past two decades, most notably in 2016 when a rear storage structure was converted into a residential unit, requiring various improvements including a new egress walkway through the existing garage, installation of fire sprinklers, and electrical upgrades.

This conversion project, which included adding a stove and hood in accordance with ordinance #155-13, was completed at a cost of approximately $14,500. Earlier work in 2004 addressed foundation and dry rot repairs to the rear structure, followed by bathroom renovations and electrical system upgrades, including the installation of a new 200-amp service with commercial and residential meters. The building's recent history includes a 2020 complaint about unlawful occupation of the garage space, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." Several building maintenance and infrastructure issues have been documented through 311 calls, including sign repairs and parking violations, with the most recent complaints in 2023 relating to parking enforcement and sign maintenance.

The property has also seen multiple plumbing and electrical improvements, including a sewer repair in 2008 and various electrical upgrades in 2004. Historical records indicate earlier concerns about unauthorized unit conversions, which appear to have been addressed through the proper permitting process between 2015 and 2016. Recent planning records show ongoing discussions about potential changes to the rear structure's use, including consideration for arts activities, with a project review meeting noted as "Under Review."
