Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 39-41 Dolores Terrace in Mission Dolores, owned by Roby Baruch and Rahel Esman, was constructed in 1939 and contains two units. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most recent major proposed modification being a horizontal addition at the rear and installation of a new hot tub and firepit, for which permits were filed in September 2020. Between 2017 and 2019, the building experienced extensive updates including complete plumbing system replacement, bathroom and kitchen remodels in both units, installation of two heat pump HVAC systems, and electrical upgrades featuring a multistop residential elevator and comprehensive rewiring with new fixtures and appliance installations.

The property has had several resolved complaints regarding unauthorized short-term rentals in 2020, which were abated after the owner removed the Airbnb listing. Parking-related issues have been documented through multiple 311 calls between 2020 and 2024, with several citations issued for violations including blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. The building’s recent history shows consistent maintenance and upgrading of systems and amenities, though some permits from 2017-2018 related to plumbing and electrical work did expire, requiring subsequent renewal applications in 2019. The property is currently in compliance with short-term rental regulations, with no active violations on record.

Risk rating

How 39-41 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.
