Initial analysis

This 2-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1659-1661 Dolores St in Noe Valley, is a two-story structure built in 1900, currently owned by Maria B. Callanan. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably a major kitchen remodel and bedroom-to-bathroom conversion in 2018 ($45,000), rear exterior stairs repair due to dry rot in 2017 ($7,000), and a comprehensive electrical upgrade including a 200-amp underground conversion in 2004. Recent work demonstrates ongoing maintenance and upgrades, including window replacements, plumbing system improvements, and compliance work following both physical inspection reports (CC-8563 and CC-8583) completed in 2024.

The property has maintained its infrastructure with several important updates, such as a complete sewer replacement in 2011 and various plumbing modifications in 2024 including vent pipe replacement and installation of vacuum breakers. Recent permits show continued maintenance attention, with an exterior door replacement scheduled for 2025. While there have been multiple 311 calls in the vicinity regarding sidewalk parking and street lighting in 2024, these are typical urban maintenance issues and not directly related to the building's condition. A pavement defect was reported in 2024, which remains open as of the latest records. The building's permit history suggests active management and regular maintenance, with particular attention to bringing systems up to current code requirements.

Risk rating

How 1659-1661 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
46thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1015 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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