1156-1158 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The four-story multi-family residential building at 1156-1158 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by Frederic & Elizabeth Laluyaux, was built in 1914 and has undergone substantial renovations and improvements over the past decade. The most recent significant development occurred in early 2024 when an investigation revealed discrepancies between constructed and approved plans regarding windows on the penthouse's north elevation, leading to permit adjustments in April 2024. The building underwent comprehensive modernization between 2016-2017, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system, a new elevator, car lift, and major electrical upgrades with 400-amp service.

The 2016-2017 renovation phase also included plumbing improvements such as bathroom remodels and infrastructure upgrades, though some original permits expired and required renewal. A notable safety concern emerged during this period with a complaint about electrical system issues and elevator use in July 2017, though this appeared to be addressed subsequently. The property's history includes past infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding sewer systems, with multiple complaints in the late 1990s and early 2000s about sewage leaks from the garage area.

Early complaints from 1997-2000 documented serious sanitation issues, though these were eventually resolved and historical in nature. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to routine maintenance matters such as sidewalk cleaning, tree maintenance, and parking enforcement, indicating normal urban living conditions. The building's recent renovation history shows a pattern of addressing modern safety requirements, including the installation of a sprinkler monitoring system and other safety features, though some permit compliance issues required rectification, as evidenced by the 2024 audit findings.
