179 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 8-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 179 Dolores Street, constructed in 1922, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, the building completed a comprehensive fire system upgrade worth $26,700, including a new panel, smoke detectors, and other safety features. Unit renovations have been a focus of recent work, with substantial improvements made to Unit 6 in 2020 (including new bedroom and kitchen features, washer/dryer installation) and Unit 9 in 2017 (including kitchen and bathroom relocations).

The building has maintained active attention to safety systems, with the recent fire system replacement in 2022 and previous upgrades in 2019, though some earlier fire alarm work was canceled. The property experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in 2024, with active violations including damaged walls/ceilings, malfunctioning smoke detectors, a broken refrigerator, and damaged screens, all of which were abated by September 2024. Historical records show periodic inspections and some past violations, including a 2019 fire violation related to permit issues, though most have been resolved.

The building's permit history indicates regular maintenance work, including reroofing projects in 2021 and 1992, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Recent 311 calls have been primarily related to external matters such as street space usage and abandoned vehicle reports. While the building has faced various challenges over the years, recent permits and completed work suggest ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the property, with particular attention to fire safety systems and unit improvements.
