Initial analysis

This two-story multi-family residential building located at 1470 Dolores Street in Noe Valley was constructed in 1906 and contains three units, currently owned by the Bernard J Dechant Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past three decades. Most recently, in August 2022, a window replacement was completed following proper energy efficiency standards. Previous notable work includes the installation of a solar panel system in 2013 (though both permits expired), a 200 amp electrical upgrade in 2005, and multiple restoration and repair projects in the early 1990s, including fire damage repairs, window replacements, and exterior siding work. The building's configuration has changed over time, with a major restoration in 1998 returning it to its original two-flat configuration while also adding a non-required three-car parking garage in the basement.

The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roofing work in 1994 and various window replacements and repairs, with all major permitted work being completed. There have been no recorded safety violations or hazardous incidents associated with the building. While there have been several parking-related complaints in the vicinity between 2018 and 2022, primarily regarding sidewalk parking, all of these cases were marked as unable to locate or resolved without any direct connection to the building's management or residents. The consistent pattern of parking enforcement calls suggests a recurring street parking issue in the immediate area, though this is an external neighborhood concern rather than a property-specific issue.

Risk rating

How 1470 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

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1127 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.1%
Moderate concern 22.1%
Severe concern 9.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
