465 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building at 465 Dolores St, owned by First Covenant Church of San Francisco, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the past few years. Most notably, in 2022, the building received substantial fire safety improvements including the installation of 18 low-frequency sounders to the fire alarm system and new pull stations, with corresponding electrical upgrades completed in July 2022.

The building is currently undergoing reroofing work as of June 2023, with a $26,000 project to replace the existing modified bitumen roof. In May 2023, the building faced multiple housing and fire safety violations, including issues with fire proofing, pipe insulation, smoke detection systems, and fire escape maintenance, though all these violations were abated by June 30, 2023.

Historical maintenance records show various routine inspections and repairs over the years, including a boiler permit compliance issue in 2010, fire escape maintenance violations in 2011, and alarm system problems in 2011, all of which were subsequently resolved. The building has maintained its infrastructure with several major system upgrades, including a 2007 gas line replacement, a 2003 conversion from overhead to underground electrical service, and various routine maintenance and inspection work. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 and early 2025 have primarily documented external issues around the property, such as graffiti, encampments, and sidewalk maintenance needs, rather than internal building concerns.
