Initial analysis

The property at 1151-1153 Dolores Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by the Karl F Reichmuth Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a house trap replacement in September 2024 and the installation of two steel entry doors in January 2022. Previous major works include repairs to rotting framing and strengthening of the rear stair and deck in 2012 (with some controversy as a complaint was filed in 2012 regarding non-permitted construction), front stairs replacement in 2008, foundation bolting in 1998, and reroofing in 1991. The electrical system was upgraded in 2004 with an underground service conversion, and there were notable plumbing issues in 1997 regarding sewer vent problems that were resolved in 2012.

The property has experienced recurrent parking enforcement issues in recent years, particularly during 2022-2024, with numerous reports of vehicles parking on sidewalks and blocking driveways, resulting in several citations. While these issues are not directly related to the building's condition, they may affect resident convenience. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety improvements, with no recent complaints or violations currently active. The most significant historical plumbing issue, regarding sewer connections, was resolved over a decade ago, and the recent house trap replacement suggests ongoing infrastructure maintenance. The property's records indicate proper permitting for most recent improvements, with the exception of the 2012 complaint regarding unauthorized deck construction, which was eventually abated in 2013.

Risk rating

How 1151-1153 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.
