1147-1149 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1147-1149 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by Rainer Albert, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple maintenance challenges since its construction in 1908. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in early 2018 at a cost of $52,000, achieving compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced recurring plumbing issues, with multiple sewer backup incidents reported between 2015-2022, and underwent a house trap replacement in 2014.

In 2017, the building faced several violations that were subsequently addressed, including weatherproofing repairs, electrical issues, and ventilation problems, all of which were abated by February 2018. More recent improvements include a 2020 electrical panel upgrade and the installation of a third-floor water heater. The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of addressing structural and safety concerns over the years.

Historical records show previous deck repairs (2002), termite damage remediation (1991), and various compliance requirements being addressed in the late 1980s. Several complaints from 2017 indicated issues with ventilation, fire safety equipment, drainage, and exterior maintenance, though all were resolved within a year. The most recent tenant-related complaint as of October 2018 was regarding partially operational kitchen and bedroom windows. Outside of building-specific issues, there have been occasional sidewalk and parking concerns reported through 311 calls, with a notable sidewalk defect still showing as open since 2021.
