Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 811-813 Dolores Street, owned by Kevin E & Mary C Macdonnell, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1906 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent work focusing on accessibility upgrades and safety improvements, including the installation of a walk-in tub and GFCI outlets in January 2025, and the replacement of a tub in December 2024. In 2022, repairs were made to the rear doors and plywood sidings of the building. More major work included a complete re-roofing of the structure in 2006. The building experienced multiple violations in 2021 related to lead paint hazards, damaged screen doors, and compliance documentation requirements, though these were all abated by July 2022.

Several complaints have been filed regarding the property, most notably in 2019 regarding potentially illegal rental practices and in 2021 concerning fire exit safety. Other complaints included concerns about a tall backyard fence in 2019 and lead paint removal practices in 2021. The building's systems have been periodically updated, including a 100-amp electrical service installation in 2004. During 2021-2023, there were multiple 311 calls related to various issues including illegal parking, tree maintenance, and a building infestation that was transferred to the Department of Public Health for follow-up. The property has experienced two fire-related incidents: a public service call and a smoke detector activation, neither of which resulted in injuries or were related to actual fires.

Risk rating

How 811-813 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.
