Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 49 Dorland Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Chanin Changtor and constructed in 1924, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance over its history. The building has seen substantial renovations between 2004-2021, including comprehensive updates to all three units' kitchens and bathrooms, addition of a bathroom to unit 3, installation of new patios and windows, and a complete reroofing project in 2020. Recent work in 2021 included kitchen and bathroom renewals to comply with a physical inspection report, along with electrical upgrades including the installation of a new sub-panel and dedicated circuits for the laundry room. The building previously experienced several safety violations in 2002 related to fire safety, egress obstructions, and stair repairs, but all were promptly abated by August 2002.

The property has maintained a regular inspection schedule with no violations recorded since 2011, and underwent a condo conversion process that was approved in 2004. Recent municipal records from 2023-2024 show recurring issues with driveway blocking, resulting in multiple citations being issued, though these are external parking enforcement matters rather than building-specific issues. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with significant investments in modernization and safety compliance over the past two decades, including plumbing improvements such as a new area drain installation in 2015, and substantial electrical rewiring work in 2005. The building's history demonstrates a pattern of systematic upgrades and timely response to regulatory requirements, maintaining compliance with housing standards.

Risk rating

How 49 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
