Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 25-27 Dolores Terrace in Mission Dolores, owned by the Ward Family Trust, was constructed in 1914 and is a two-story flats/duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being the installation of an unoccupied living roof and maintenance rail above the garage, with permits issued in 2022 and originally in 2019. A substantial safety upgrade took place between 2014-2019, with the installation of a new fire sprinkler system (NFPA 13R) throughout the building, including a 2-inch underground fire service line, following as-built drawings completed in 2016. The building received a comprehensive electrical upgrade in 2014, including a 300-amp underground service installation, and multiple plumbing improvements including bathroom and kitchen fixture replacements, radiant heating systems, and roof drain connections.

The property's history includes one notable building complaint from October 2014 regarding unauthorized construction work, though this was abated within a week. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned street-level issues such as encampments, graffiti, and general sidewalk maintenance, with the most recent activity being a garbage and debris complaint in October 2024. These external issues appear to be typical for the neighborhood and not directly related to the building's condition or management. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, with all major safety systems installed or renewed properly, including fire safety, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 25-27 Dolores Ter'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, 96 are predicted to be safer.
