Initial analysis

Located at 1284 Dolores Street in the Noe Valley neighborhood, this 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building was originally constructed in 1890 and is currently owned by Georgie Thein and Silvia Xiao. The property has undergone several significant modifications over the years, with the most substantial proposed changes being filed in 2022 and 2021, including plans for vertical and horizontal additions, reconfiguration of dwelling units, and new construction of various living spaces across all floors, including bedrooms, bathrooms, and a garage. These permits indicate a major renovation project that would substantially alter the building's current configuration.

The building has experienced several maintenance and infrastructure issues in recent years, particularly related to its sewer system, with documented problems in 2017 and 2019 involving sewer backup and vent odors. The electrical system was upgraded in 2004 with a 200-amp underground conversion, and the building underwent a kitchen remodel in 1992. Two routine apartment house inspections in 2001 and 2006 were conducted by Housing Inspection Services, though no significant violations or ongoing issues were noted in the records. More recently, there have been multiple parking enforcement calls in late 2024 regarding driveway blocking, though officers were often unable to locate the vehicles in question. Additionally, there was one incident of sidewalk parking in October 2024 that resulted in a citation. The property is currently undergoing review for additional improvements, including a new garage, corridor, and stairs to the rear yard, as well as roof modifications.

Risk rating

How 1284 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
