Initial analysis

The property at 1488-1490 Dolores Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1908 and currently owned by Christiane Homann Trustee. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to the roof, with three documented reroofing projects: in 1989 ($24,000), 2006 ($24,000), and most recently in 2016 ($11,500). A significant infrastructure upgrade was completed in 2004 with the conversion from overhead to underground electrical service. A notable structural modification occurred in 1995, involving the removal of brick footing at the front, replaced with concrete footings and stairs.

The property has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk and driveway obstruction, particularly by parked vehicles, with multiple enforcement actions taken between 2020 and 2024. This includes three documented instances of sidewalk parking in 2022-2023, though most were resolved through citations or warnings. A fallen tree incident was reported and resolved in February 2024, and there were some sewer-related markings noted in July 2021. The surrounding area has also faced occasional maintenance challenges, including a reported instance of human or animal waste in June 2024, though this complaint was closed due to insufficient information. While most recent complaints have been addressed through proper channels, they primarily relate to street-level issues rather than building-specific concerns, and the property's structural and major systems appear to be regularly maintained according to permit records.

Risk rating

How 1488-1490 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, 601 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.1%
Moderate concern 10.8%
Severe concern 6.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
