Initial analysis

984 Dolores Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Jay & Aida Lane Revoc Trust. The property features four units, though records show a conversion to three units was completed in 1997. The building has undergone significant renovation work over the past decade, with the most recent completed project being a comprehensive roof upgrade in November 2024, valued at $23,500, that included the installation of a new Class A fire-rated roof and additional safety features. In late 2022, substantial interior improvements were made across multiple units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work, with some complaints about unpermitted work filed in November 2022 that remain active. The property has a history of addressing various maintenance issues, including window replacements in 2018, siding repairs in 2012, and interior renovations in the 1990s.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to safety compliance, with previous violations from 2010 related to gas meter instructions and security locks being resolved within two months. Recent planning records indicate ongoing discussions about constructing a new two-story structure in the rear yard to add a fourth unit, though this project is currently under review. The property's electrical systems have received notable attention, with multiple upgrades including a 60-amp sub-panel installation and conversion from overhead to underground service in 2004. The building's maintenance history demonstrates regular upkeep and modernization efforts, with particular focus on addressing safety requirements and improving resident amenities, though there have been some recent concerns about unpermitted work that are currently under investigation.

Risk rating

How 984 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 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1578 are predicted to be safer.
