Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 834-838 Dolores Street was constructed in 1906 and is currently owned by the Shawn & Amy Healey Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance projects over the past two decades, with the most recent being a concerning complaint filed in September 2023 regarding a precarious window frame hanging from the roof edge. In 2019, the building received an upgrade to its street-facing windows, replacing six with Renewal by Andersen Fibrex windows. The property has seen multiple kitchen renovations, including cabinet and counter replacements in 2013 on both the first and second floors, along with corresponding sink and electrical work. Major infrastructure improvements include three separate roofing projects (2006, 2009, and 2023), an underground service conversion in 2004, and a sewer repair in 2007.

The building has experienced some regulatory scrutiny, most notably in 2013 when a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized plumbing work, though this was ultimately resolved. Earlier violations from 2002 and 2008, related to stair repairs and safety equipment, were resolved within a few months of being issued. A significant withdrawn permit from 2010 aimed to make substantial modifications to the building, including removing an enclosed porch and egress stair, adding a new rear yard addition, and converting storage space to habitable space, though these changes were not implemented. More recently, there was a non-building-related incident in 2023 involving graffiti on the mailbox and a service request to the Rent Board in 2022 that appears to be related to unit count adjustments. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, with three separate kitchen renovation projects, roof replacements, and window upgrades indicating ongoing investment in the building's infrastructure and resident amenities, though the recent window frame complaint raises safety concerns that should be monitored for resolution.

Risk rating

How 834-838 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.

DBI Complaint Sep 05
There's a window frame hanging precariously off a roof edge. i knocked on the flat doors but no one answered. maybe it's just a metal frame but i bet it would still hurt someone if it falls on them from four floors up.
