Initial analysis

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.

Risk rating

How 465 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 607 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 29.3%
Moderate concern 36.3%
Severe concern 34.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
