1348 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

This 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1348 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by Anita C Villarreal, was constructed in 1915 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (cost: $65,000) and subsequently addressed fire safety concerns with a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2019 (cost: $7,000). The property has experienced multiple renovation projects, including window replacements to meet egress requirements in 2015 (cost: $28,000), and various unit remodels including kitchen and bathroom updates in Units 1 and 5 between 2012-2015, though some work resulted in permit-related violations during construction.

Recent concerns include a gas leak incident in September 2020, multiple unauthorized work complaints, and a 2021 report of pigeon infestation in rear stairwells. The building has a documented history of fire safety issues, particularly regarding fire escapes, with a 2019 complaint noting non-compliance with fire safety regulations and lack of inspection records. The property has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, including sidewalk repair needs (2004), stairway deterioration (2002), and a series of plumbing and electrical upgrades.

Recent maintenance challenges include tree root damage to pavement (2023-2024) and a sewage backup issue (December 2024). While many historical violations have been resolved, including fire escape corrections and fire alarm system upgrades, recent activity suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance monitoring may be necessary. The building received its Certificate of Final Completion for soft-story retrofit in 2022 and appears to have addressed most major structural safety requirements.
