Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 873-877 Dolores Street, built in 1906, is a three-story flats structure currently owned by the Family Trust Of Jk & Ec Mat. The building has undergone several significant improvements to address safety and infrastructure needs, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $120,000 to improve lateral resisting capacity. Recent plumbing infrastructure work includes a sewer and house trap replacement in 2020, and previous repairs in 2008 and 2013. The building experienced serious sewage issues in 2009, with multiple complaints about raw sewage backing up into the basement, though these were resolved by September 2009.

The property has faced various maintenance and safety challenges over the years, including a cluster of violations in 2002 regarding fire safety equipment and security requirements, all of which were abated by October 2002. Most recently, in 2023, the building underwent inspections that revealed several issues requiring attention, including problems with fire proofing, combustible storage, smoke detection systems, and stair repairs, though these were resolved by May 2023. The building's electrical system saw attempts at modernization with a 2021 permit for a 200-amps device with 7 meters, though this permit was cancelled. Earlier improvements include a successful underground service conversion in 2004 and various maintenance work such as reroofing in 2001 and kitchen cabinet replacement in 1985. The property has maintained its compliance with the city's soft-story program, receiving its certificate of final completion (CFC) as a Tier 3 building.

Risk rating

How 873-877 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 997 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.2%
Moderate concern 25.9%
Severe concern 29.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
