The three-story multi-family residential building at 378-384 Dolores Street, owned by 3re7 LLC, was constructed in 1905 and contains 10 units. The property has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2021-2022, there was an unauthorized unit merger incident involving the combination of three units into two, which resulted in building code violations.

The building has also undergone various system upgrades, including the replacement of knob-and-tube wiring, installation of new heating systems, and plumbing improvements, with the most recent work focused on Unit 1 and Unit 3 bathrooms completed in 2023 at a cost of approximately $48,500. Recent tenant complaints have raised concerns about building maintenance and systems, including issues with heating, hot water, and electrical systems. A pattern of heating system problems is evident, with violations and complaints recorded in both 2023 and 2024. Fire safety systems have been subject to attention, with multiple fire complaints regarding extinguishers and alarm systems between 2018 and 2024, though all were marked as condition corrected.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to code compliance, though some work has required retroactive permits to address violations. The property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as reflected in 311 calls, including instances of graffiti, debris, and parking concerns in the surrounding area. The building's current status is marked by ongoing maintenance and system upgrades, with recent permits showing continued investment in improving unit amenities and building systems. Historical violations from 2001, including issues with combustible storage, lead paint, and various fire safety concerns, were all resolved by December 2002. The property's history shows a mix of proactive maintenance and reactive responses to violations, with significant work done to improve unit layouts, systems, and overall building safety in recent years.
