Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 16-18 Dorland Street in Mission Dolores is a 3-story flats and duplex structure built in 1913, currently owned by Yu Linda S 1995 Separate Pr. The building has undergone several significant changes and faced various compliance issues over its history. Notably, in 1987, a reversion from three to two family dwelling units was completed, and there were multiple permit applications in 1983 related to unspecified modifications. The most recent building work was a water heater replacement in November 2023. A major compliance issue occurred in 2007 when the building received multiple violations related to lead paint hazards, including damaged paint requiring proper containment, though these violations were abated by December 2008.

The property has maintained a relatively stable record since the lead paint violations were addressed, with the most recent building permit being for water heater replacement in late 2023. However, there have been numerous 311 calls in the vicinity since 2022, primarily related to street cleaning, illegal parking, and waste removal, though these issues appear to be external to the building itself. A building complaint from 2007 alleged an illegal ground floor unit and blocked egress to the backyard, though the current status of these concerns is not documented. The property was also involved in a 1991 reroofing project and has seen various street space permits, with the most recent being issued in 2007.

Risk rating

How 16-18 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.
