AI summary

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 266-270 Dolores Street, owned by the Haigh-meagher Trust and built in 1903, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2015 at a cost of $40,000, which included the installation of tie downs, anchor bolts, shear walls, and new foundation grade beams to meet San Francisco building codes. The property has recently focused on fire safety improvements, completing a voluntary fire alarm system replacement in 2022-2023 to upgrade to mandatory low frequency horns in common and sleeping areas, at a cost of $16,200. The building previously faced multiple fire safety violations in 2001, which were all abated by January 2002, including issues with egress obstruction, fire escape maintenance, smoke enclosure doors, and the central alarm system.

Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to building systems, including plumbing updates such as sink replacements in 2017 and electrical work including pull station and smoke detector installation in 2023. The building has had periodic inspections over the years, with the most recent active complaint filed in 2022 regarding fire escape maintenance. Historical records indicate completion of various maintenance projects including roof replacement in 2003 and garage repairs in 1999. The property is located in a Tier 3 soft-story building area, confirming the completion of required seismic improvements. While there have been numerous 311 calls regarding the surrounding area since 2021, these primarily involve street cleaning and parking issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 266-270 Dolores 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.
