Initial analysis

The 4-story multi-family residential building at 1297-1299 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by Gregory Kelisky, was built in 1912 and contains 3 units. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major work focusing on safety systems and modernization. Between 2016-2017, comprehensive fire safety upgrades were implemented, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system with 76 heads, backflow assemblies, and a sprinkler monitoring system with associated electrical and plumbing work costing over $60,000. The building underwent substantial interior modifications in 2013, adding a fourth floor penthouse unit with approximately 550 sq. ft. of living space and deck areas. Other improvements included window replacements (2012), dry rot repairs (2019), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades throughout the building.

The property has experienced several notable issues over its history, though most have been resolved. In 2015, there was a security complaint about inadequate entry door locks and windows in unit 1299. There were multiple fire safety violations in the early 2000s related to stair repairs, fire proofing, and extinguishers, all of which were abated by 2012. A 2012 complaint regarding unauthorized construction of a lightwell and staircase was resolved within days. Recent maintenance issues have included sewer system problems, with the most recent sewage back-up reported in December 2024, though this was promptly addressed. The building's fire safety systems have been regularly inspected, with the most recent sprinkler complaint in 2023 found to have "No Merit."

Risk rating

How 1297-1299 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.
