Initial analysis

Located in Mission Dolores, 76 Dorland Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building owned by First Covenant Church Of SF and constructed in 1939. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, with major renovations completed in 2024 including a comprehensive electrical system upgrade replacing outdated knob & tube wiring, installation of new kitchen fixtures, and improvements to the roof (reroofing project costing $18,000). The building's electrical updates involved installing new circuits, lighting, and a hardwired smoke detector system, while plumbing work included the installation of new appliances and sewer system updates.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, particularly with its sewer system, as evidenced by three separate sewage backup incidents reported between October and December 2023, with the most recent occurring on December 14, 2023. Street maintenance records show prior attention to the building's exterior with sidewalk repairs documented in 2003 and street space permits issued in 2009. A civil complaint was recently filed in December 2024 regarding property damage potentially related to tree maintenance. The building's recent work history suggests ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property, though the concentrated period of sewer-related issues in late 2023 indicates this has been a recurring concern requiring multiple interventions.

Risk rating

How 76-78 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
