1608-1612 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit residential building at 1608-1612 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by Christopher Blumenberg, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 that has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years. Between 2017 and 2019, major upgrades included the installation of a comprehensive fire safety system with sprinklers and alarms ($68,854 total), complete bathroom remodels across all units, kitchen renovations, and the installation of three new furnaces.

The property also received electrical system upgrades, including a standard EV charger installation in 2021 and new 100-amp service installations. A notable construction violation occurred in 2017 when work was reported to exceed the scope of demolition permits, though this was eventually abated in 2019.

The building has experienced recent parking-related issues, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between September and December 2024, resulting in several citations. Planning records show a significant remodel project aimed at converting the first floor to garage space and adding two stories, though this project is marked as "Closed - CEQA Clearance Issued." In 2018, there was also a short-term rental violation involving two units, which has since been abated. The property appears to be well-maintained in terms of safety infrastructure, with annual fire system inspections and recent bathroom renovations, though the multiple parking enforcement cases suggest ongoing challenges with driveway access and enforcement.
