Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1200 Dolores Street, owned by Christine A & John J Ried, was constructed in 1902 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Most recently, in September 2023, an $18,000 reroofing project was completed, demonstrating ongoing maintenance of the property's infrastructure. The building underwent substantial interior improvements in 2016, including bathroom renovations on the top floor with new electrical wiring, installation of new plumbing fixtures, and conversion of 237 square feet of attic space into a bathroom and egress area, along with water heater replacements on two occasions (2016 and 2011). These improvements suggest proper maintenance and modernization of essential systems.

The property has experienced some regulatory interactions, notably a building violation in 2009 regarding unauthorized construction of a shed roof over a side entrance, which was eventually resolved by January 2011. While there haven't been any reported fire incidents related to structural damage or injuries, a carbon monoxide detector activation due to malfunction was recorded. The building's exterior has been generally well-maintained, with documented repairs including shingle replacement in 2008 and roof repairs in 2010. Recent 311 calls in 2024 primarily concern neighborhood issues such as parking and tree maintenance, rather than problems with the building itself, though there was one report of a collapsed sidewalk and a defaced stop sign that were promptly addressed. The property appears to be regularly maintained, with most permits being completed successfully, though some street space permits were issued in 2016-2017 for temporary uses.

Risk rating

How 1200 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.

Neighborhood percentile
