951-955 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building at 951-955 Dolores Street in Noe Valley was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Renner Survivors Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014-2016 that included the installation of plywood sheathing, anchor bolts, and steel moment frames at ground floor level, as well as concrete footings in the garage and rear of the building, bringing the building into compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

Historical maintenance records show attention to structural and safety issues, including repairs to address dry rot in the rear stairs in 2002, window replacements in 2003, and various fire safety upgrades. The building has experienced several compliance issues over the years, with the most recent significant violations occurring in 2010 regarding egress obstruction, improper storage, and smoke detector requirements, all of which were resolved within two months.

A routine apartment inspection in 2002 identified multiple issues including stair repairs and fire extinguisher servicing needs, which were addressed by 2005. The property has had occasional graffiti incidents and sidewalk cleaning concerns, with multiple general cleaning and graffiti removal requests filed between 2019 and 2024, though these are typically exterior maintenance issues rather than building safety concerns. The most recent building-related activity includes a 744 detector activation incident with no fire noted in the records, and all major structural work has been completed with the issuance of a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) for the soft-story retrofit.
