246 Dorland St, San Francisco, CA 94114

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 246 Dorland St in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by Robert & Virginia Thompson, has been maintained through several significant upgrades since its construction in 1961. Recent major work includes a re-roofing project completed in 2015 ($23,218), and the installation of a new 100-gallon water heater in 2011.

The building has undergone multiple routine inspections, with the most notable enforcement actions occurring during a June 2011 inspection that found several code violations, including issues with garbage/recycling receptacles, moisture exhaust ducting for clothes dryers, hot water heater elevation, plumbing permits, fire proofing materials, and fire escape ladder maintenance - all of which were abated within a month. The property has seen several infrastructure improvements over its lifetime, including window replacements in 1996 (18 windows), multiple bathroom remodels, and heating system upgrades including the installation of wall heaters in units 1, 3, and 4 in 2008. Recent history of the property shows ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, though there has been a pattern of parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking documented through 2023-2024.

Two fire incidents were recorded, including a carbon monoxide detector activation with no actual CO detected, and a false alarm call, neither resulting in injuries. The building's systems have generally been kept up to date, with regular permits for maintenance and improvements, suggesting ongoing management attention to building systems. The property has met various code requirements over the years, with earlier issues including fungus damage to a rear deck (1996) and stair damage (1984) being addressed through proper permits.
