Augrented Insights Report

38 Dolores Street is an 81-unit, 8-story multi-family residential building constructed in 2014 and currently owned by Market Dolores LLC. The property has experienced recurring issues with its heating system, with multiple complaints and violations filed between 2021 and 2023, including a persistent heating issue documented in December 2023 that was not fully resolved until January 2024. The building has also faced significant elevator problems, with complaints about malfunctioning service occurring throughout 2023 and early 2024, culminating in a formal violation in April 2023.

Recent concerns have centered around fire safety systems, with multiple fire alarm malfunctions reported between October 2024 and November 2024, causing disturbance to both residents and nearby businesses. The building's maintenance history shows intermittent repair work, including a $130,000 project in 2020 involving window tests, stucco repairs, and investigation of planters. More recently, in June 2023, the roof's two tankless water heaters were replaced, though this permit has since expired.

The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding its management structure, with a complaint filed in April 2023 regarding the lack of a live-on-site resident manager, which is required by San Francisco Housing Code Section 1311 for buildings with more than 16 units. Additional infrastructure issues have been noted, including inadequate exterior lighting (with multiple complaints about insufficient lighting in common areas) and problems with building security systems. The building has maintained reasonable compliance with most building codes and regulations since its construction, though the frequency and nature of recent complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness.
