173 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94103

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 173 Dolores Street, owned by Linda Barnes, was constructed in 1914 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2017 at a cost of $100,000, which included installing new moment frames and shear walls to comply with San Francisco Building Code requirements. Recent improvements include the installation of a 10.79 kW solar system with 26 PV modules in August 2023, a 200-amp sub-panel upgrade in May 2024, and electrical work to add supplemental baseboard heat to Apartment 5, also in May 2024.

The building has an active roofing project with a $12,675 re-roofing permit issued in March 2024. The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, with only one documented fire safety violation in 2008 related to a fire escape ladder, which was promptly addressed within a week. Routine safety inspections have been conducted regularly, with no recurring issues noted.

The building's systems have been upgraded over the years, including the installation of a new steam boiler in 2010 and various structural improvements such as foundation height adjustments in 1988. While there was one building complaint in 2020 regarding suspected unpermitted work, the case was not marked as active. The property has experienced minor exterior maintenance issues, including graffiti incidents in 2017 and 2019, both of which were resolved promptly.
