1503 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The two-story multi-family residential building at 1503 Dolores St, located in Noe Valley, was constructed in 1900 and contains two units. The property has undergone numerous renovations and repairs over the past decade, with particular focus on the rear deck and stair structure. Most notably, there is an ongoing active building violation (opened in September 2020) regarding unauthorized expansion of the third-floor deck dimensions and area, which remains unresolved as of October 2023.

Recent work includes a July 2023 permit for enlarging a basement sliding door opening to the backyard, which does not comply with a previous notice related to underpinning and footing requirements. The building has seen significant infrastructure improvements, including a complete electrical system upgrade in 2021 with new distribution panels for both units and a dedicated EV charger circuit. Major plumbing work has been performed including sewer lateral replacement (2018), house trap installation (2012), and various bathroom renovations (2011).

The property has faced several maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly concerning exterior structures, with multiple permits related to termite and dry rot repairs, exterior siding work, and deck reconstruction. Recent building inspections in 2024 identified concerns about a possibly dangerous tree in the yard, and there were reports of rodent/insect infestation earlier this year. The property's history includes multiple complaints regarding unauthorized construction work, particularly related to deck and stair modifications, though many of these complaints have been resolved or closed over time. Separate from building issues, there have been recurring concerns about street parking violations and sidewalk access, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for parking enforcement between 2022 and 2024.
