Initial analysis

The 719-721 Dolores Street property is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1914, currently owned by the Michele A Cook Trust. The building has undergone significant work over the past decade, with major renovations occurring in 2014 including repairs to address dry rot and wall damage ($50,000), extensive water damage restoration ($81,000), and comprehensive updates to plumbing, electrical systems, and HVAC with new heaters and ducting installation. These improvements were accompanied by two violations in early 2015 regarding unpermitted work cover-up inspections, although these violations were promptly abated within weeks.

Recent maintenance and operational history includes some concerning events, most notably a sewage backup incident reported in November 2023. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management, with multiple complaints recorded in 2024, as well as two separate driveway blocking incidents in August 2023. The building's earlier history includes various maintenance work such as reroofing in 2001 and substantial infrastructure upgrades in 2004 with a 100 amp underground installation. The property's documented permit history suggests most major systems have been addressed, though the 2014 violations indicate there may have been periods of incomplete or improperly documented work. While some of the 311 calls relate to general street conditions near the property, others show evidence of building maintenance challenges, particularly regarding waste management and plumbing systems.

Risk rating

How 719-721 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.
