Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1478 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by Bagadia Nishant & Patel Jay, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1925. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, most recently including a water heater replacement in 2022 and window replacements in 2014. Infrastructure improvements include a completed conversion from overhead to underground electrical service in 2004 and sewer repairs in 2010. One notable safety incident occurred in 2009 when a complaint was filed regarding a rotted rear deck, which was promptly addressed and resolved within one month.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations, particularly sidewalk parking, with numerous citations issued between 2023 and 2024. During 2023 alone, there were at least eight documented cases of vehicles parking on the sidewalk, resulting in multiple citations, though some complaints could not be verified or the vehicles were unable to be located. The most recent 311 calls relating to the property include a cleaning complaint in May 2024 and a parking violation in December 2023, though these are external issues not directly related to the building's maintenance or resident experience. The building's permit history suggests regular upkeep, with documented improvements to windows and systems, though an older reroofing permit from 1998 appears as expired in the records.

Risk rating

How 1478 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.
