1434-1436 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The property at 1434-1436 Dolores Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1895 and currently owned by Novitchenko Fmly 2014 Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2020-2021, including a vertical addition of a new master suite on the third floor, horizontal expansion at the rear of the first floor, a new front stair, rear deck, seismic upgrades, and the installation of a fire sprinkler system throughout at a cost of nearly half a million dollars. Other notable improvements include a sewer lateral repair and pipe burst installation in 2022, conversion to underground electrical service in 2004, and various maintenance works such as front entry stair rebuilds in 2002 and 1989, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 1988.

A significant compliance issue was resolved in 2020 when the owners were cited for operating illegal short-term rentals in the lower unit through Airbnb, which was subsequently abated. The building's infrastructure and safety systems have received regular attention, with the most recent major work focusing on both structural and safety improvements. Historical records show earlier works including reroofing in the early 1990s, though those permits have since expired.

Recent municipal service calls primarily relate to street and sidewalk maintenance, with several reports of sidewalk parking violations between 2019 and 2024, and various street cleaning and tree maintenance issues in 2021. A sidewalk defect involving a loose AT&T utility vault was resolved in 2020. The property has undergone appropriate development review processes, including obtaining CEQA clearance for recent improvements, and has had discussions regarding potential future improvements including a garage addition and upper-level setback to preserve the historic front elevation, though these discussions appear to be exploratory in nature.
