53-63 Dorland St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 53-63 Dorland Street in Mission Dolores, owned by First Covenant Church Of SF, has a documented history dating back to 1907. The building has undergone several significant structural improvements, including a foundation work with underpinning in 2005, while earlier maintenance included rear stair repairs in 1989 and sidewalk repairs in 2003.

The property experienced notable fire safety concerns in 2001 and 2011, with violations related to fire proofing, combustible storage, and fire extinguisher maintenance, though all were subsequently abated. There was also a concerning heating system issue in 1996, where multiple complaints were recorded regarding lack of heat and an unsafe heater designation by PG&E. Recent activity has focused primarily on exterior and utility concerns, with the most recent building-related complaint from December 2020 regarding plumbing work.

The property has experienced recurring sewer issues, with multiple service calls between 2019 and 2020 for sewage backup and flooding concerns. More recent external issues documented through 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement and street maintenance, including multiple instances of vehicles blocking driveways between 2021 and 2023, and a damaged tree report in 2023. The building has maintained a record of completing required inspections and addressing violations, though the age of the structure suggests ongoing maintenance needs should be anticipated.
