1530 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

Located in Noe Valley, 1530 Dolores Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1905 and owned by Acton Dolores LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 at a cost of $75,000 to enhance seismic safety. The property has a history of stair maintenance issues, with multiple repairs to rear wood stairs serving as a second means of egress occurring between 2003 and 2013, including a $24,000 replacement project in 2013.

Plumbing infrastructure has been maintained with sewer lateral replacements in 2018 and 2008, and the electrical system received upgrades with a 2004 200-amp underground conversion. The building experienced a notable period of maintenance challenges in 2003-2004, receiving multiple housing code violations including issues with egress obstruction, lead paint hazards, and various building maintenance concerns. These violations were ultimately abated by August 2007.

Between 2006 and 2018, the property underwent various improvements including Unit 5 renovations in 2007 (kitchen and window upgrades), and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades. Recent exterior maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, including three parking violations on the sidewalk between September 2023 and February 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The most recent significant building-related service request was a sewage backup issue in June 2023, which was resolved. The building has completed all major safety requirements, including the soft-story retrofit and associated compliance measures, and has maintained active responses to infrastructure needs as demonstrated by recent permits and repairs.
