735 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 735 Dolores Street, owned by Lopez Fernan and constructed in 1956, has undergone several significant structural and safety-related improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2019, the building faced a critical safety issue with a failing concrete retaining wall at the north property line, showing vertical cracks, tilting, and bowing, which required monitoring and foundation repairs costing $2,000 that were completed in August 2019.

Other major improvements include the installation of 12 new wood windows in 2018 ($16,500), a substantial deck replacement due to dry rot in 2008 ($85,000), and various unit-specific upgrades including a bathroom remodel in Unit #3 (2008), kitchen remodel (2005), and ceiling insulation work (2004). The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2002, 2006, and 2011, which facilitated necessary repairs such as fire safety improvements (recharging fire extinguishers and repairing exterior lighting) in 2006. The building's infrastructure has seen several key upgrades, including the conversion of electrical service from overhead to underground in 2004, and various plumbing improvements such as vent piping replacement in 2015.

A 2019 311 call regarding medical waste on the property was resolved, and a 2022 inquiry about tree maintenance was addressed by the Bureau of Urban Forestry. The property has also been approved for important modifications including a roof garden and new stair access as part of its condo conversion process. While the building has had its share of maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding the retaining wall, records show that these have been addressed through appropriate permits and repairs.
