965-969 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit residential building at 965-969 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1906, has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2023, there was a complaint about a smoke alarm needing replacement, and in early 2024, a "no heat" complaint was filed. The building has active violations from 2018 related to fire safety equipment and alarm systems that remain unresolved as of the latest records.

Major renovation works have included a comprehensive 2011 third-floor retrofit involving window replacements, bathroom conversions, and electrical upgrades ($70,000), followed by a 2016 kitchen remodel with associated plumbing and electrical work ($8,000). The property has experienced various maintenance issues including roof work in 2009 ($7,000), multiple plumbing upgrades including rotten pipe replacements in 2016, and a furnace replacement in 2020. The building's history includes several concerning patterns, particularly a complaint in 2018 regarding unauthorized rooming/boarding house activities and a potential unit merger violation in 2016, though these issues were marked as "Closed - Abated" by Planning.

The property has also faced various regulatory scrutiny periods, including multiple routine inspections and violation notices between 2002 and 2018 related to fire safety, electrical systems, and building maintenance. A tenant buyout occurred in 2016 involving six tenants for $75,000. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 primarily relate to street and sidewalk conditions around the property, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. While the building has received numerous improvements over the years, the persistent nature of some regulatory violations and recent tenant comfort issues merit attention, though exact current conditions and compliance status may require direct verification with property management or local authorities.
