1265 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1265 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, currently owned by Peterson Revocable Trust and built in 1961, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $135,000, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance includes a complete reroofing in 2021 ($9,000) and the installation of a new 75-gallon water heater in 2009, with earlier water heater strapping work attempted in 2009 also on record.

The building has a history of addressing various structural concerns, including repair of dry rot damage in 2005 ($6,000) and replacement of the rear deck in 2002. The property has faced multiple safety inspections and violations over its history, most notably in 2001 when several fire safety issues were identified, including problems with handrails, fire escape equipment, egress obstructions, and fire proofing materials. These violations were ultimately resolved by July 2002.

Additional issues were documented in 2013 regarding combustible storage and a ceiling collapse, both of which were promptly addressed. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of basic systems, including electrical upgrades such as underground conversion completed in 2004. Recent 311 calls near the property (from 2015 to 2023) have mostly related to external issues like parking concerns, street cleaning matters, and utility maintenance, with only one documented electrical issue (a flickering streetlight) in 2015 that was resolved promptly.
