Initial analysis

The two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building at 32 Dorland St in Mission Dolores, built in 1925 and currently owned by Steve Sunhom and Heesoo Paak, has undergone significant recent renovations and faced several regulatory challenges. From early 2021 through mid-2021, the property underwent substantial upgrades including the installation of laundry facilities, water sub-metering, and various kitchen improvements across multiple units, though these modifications were initially carried out without proper permits, leading to an enforcement complaint. The unauthorized work included window changes and kitchen remodels in units 3 and 4, though subsequent permits were obtained for washer/dryer installations, plumbing work, and electrical upgrades, including the installation of GFCI outlets.

The building has a history of safety and compliance issues, most notably in 2001 when violations were recorded regarding fire safety requirements, including inadequate fire extinguishers, fire proofing concerns, and exterior door self-closing devices—though these were all resolved by April 2001. A more recent violation in early 2021 involved hazardous gas flex line issues in unit 4's kitchen, which was addressed by April 2021. The property has experienced several routine inspections over the years, including 2007 and 2008 housing inspections. External to the building itself, there have been multiple street-level service requests in the area, particularly regarding parking enforcement and sidewalk maintenance, with the most recent being sidewalk parking violations in 2024 and several requests regarding waste removal in 2021.

Risk rating

How 32 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

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 655 are predicted to be safer.
