Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 77 Dorland Street in Mission Dolores, owned by First Covenant Church of SF, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911. The property has undergone several maintenance and safety-related improvements over the years, with particular attention paid to the rear stair access. Multiple attempts to address rear stair issues were documented in the early 1990s, including a completed $1,800 renovation in 1992, following two earlier permit applications in 1989 (expired) and 1991 (cancelled). More recently, the building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, most notably with a collapsed sidewalk reported in December 2021, which remains an open case as of October 2023. The property has also been affected by a tree maintenance issue in September 2024, where a tree is reportedly damaging the building's window or structure.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, including a reroofing project initiated in 1999. While there have been various 311 calls related to the immediate area, including reports of graffiti (2016), sidewalk issues (2021), and public works requests (2019), most of these cases have been resolved through appropriate channels. A fire alarm system complaint in December 2011 was promptly addressed and corrected. The property appears to be generally maintained, though the recurring staircase issues in the early 1990s and recent sidewalk concerns suggest ongoing attention to structural features is required. The most recent significant infrastructure issues involve exterior elements rather than internal building systems.

Risk rating

How 77 Dorland 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
