561-563 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

561-563 Dolores Street is a historic two-unit residential building located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Kevin Tam. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past two decades, including a complete electrical service upgrade in 2007 and underground conversion of electrical service in 2005, both of which enhanced the building's electrical infrastructure.

More recent improvements include a reroofing project in 2015 costing $13,800 and the replacement of the rear yard stairway (a second means of egress) in 2010, which was particularly important for safety compliance. The building experienced a notable series of violations in July 2010 related to interior surfaces and exterior weatherproofing, including issues with peeling paint, weatherproofing on siding, and lead-based paint concerns. These violations were all officially abated by April 2011.

Since then, there have been no recorded building violations, though the property has experienced regular maintenance issues typical of its age. The building's recent history includes two minor fire-related incidents recorded as water/steam leaks and false alarms, neither of which resulted in civilian injuries. The surrounding area has seen various external incidents, primarily related to parking enforcement and park rule violations, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in 2023-2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.
