AI summary

871 Dolores Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. Built in 1912 and currently owned by the Stori-hayashi Family Trust, the property has undergone significant improvements and maintenance over the past several years. Most recently, in September 2023, substantial structural work was completed to widen the rear deck, relocate stairs, and create a sunken patio with retaining wall. Earlier improvements include comprehensive seismic upgrades in 2015-2016 involving foundation replacement, unit relocation, and installation of new moment frames, followed by various modernization efforts such as a new rear deck, doors, windows, and skylights.

The building has also seen considerable infrastructure upgrades, including the installation of photovoltaic systems in July 2024 (totaling 9.43 kW with two separate installations), a new electrical subpanel for EV charging in 2018, and significant plumbing improvements including multiple bathroom remodels and a new condensing boiler system in 2015-2016. While there were some construction-related complaints in 2015-2016 regarding debris and sidewalk conditions, these issues appear to have been resolved. The property has maintained compliance with building regulations, as evidenced by multiple approved permits and completed inspections, and recent 311 calls have primarily related to routine maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems. The extensive improvement history suggests active property maintenance and modernization efforts by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 871 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.
