755 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

755 Dolores Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Artal Family LP. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably the addition of an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) in 2016, installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2020 (costing $10,000), and a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 to meet current safety standards (costing $15,000). The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 as a Tier 3 building, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most significant concerns arising in 2020 when tenants reported serious habitability problems including lack of hot water, broken glass in the back stairwell, exposed wires in the lobby, inconsistent electrical and water service, and construction work taking far longer than promised. These issues were documented in a complaint filed in September 2020. Prior to this, in 2016, the building faced multiple violations related to safety systems, plumbing, and electrical concerns, though these were all officially abated by October 2016.

The building has maintained relatively regular upkeep, as evidenced by various permits for system upgrades including a new steam boiler installation in 2016 and multiple sprinkler system improvements. Recent maintenance calls have primarily focused on exterior lighting and parking issues near the property. The most recent building complaint records show improved conditions, with no active violations as of now.
