Initial analysis

The 15-unit multi-family residential building at 595-599 Dolores Street, owned by the Pritchard Marital Trust, is a three-story structure built in 1900 that has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history. Most concerning is the recent active complaint from October 2024 regarding a broken window (202429251) and a persistent security issue for the past 25 years with no on-site manager and inadequate lighting (199926759), as well as structural concerns with front stairs and ceiling damage noted in 1999 (199922485) that remain active. The building has faced recurring fire safety challenges, with the most recent violation regarding the sprinkler system being issued in October 2023, following a pattern of fire extinguisher and sprinkler-related violations dating back to 2016. Previous maintenance issues included multiple handrail repairs, security improvements, and window maintenance between 2002-2004, all of which were eventually abated.

The property has undergone some infrastructure improvements over the years, including reroofing completed in 1995 and several sidewalk repairs in 2006 and 2009, though these are relatively minor compared to the building's ongoing issues. There is also a history of tenant buyouts, with one recorded instance in 2015 for $6,083.76. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate persistent issues with garbage and debris around the property, though these are exterior issues rather than direct building concerns. While some violations and complaints have been resolved over time, the building continues to show patterns of neglect in critical areas such as fire safety systems, security, and general maintenance.

Risk rating

How 595-599 Dolores 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
15th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 679 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 16.5%
Moderate concern 39.3%
Severe concern 44.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
