1652 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1652 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by Walter A Trust The Susor, has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements since its construction in 1927. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015-2018, which included foundation strengthening, shear wall upgrades, and second-floor framing improvements, achieving Tier 3 compliance with its Certificate of Final Completion.

Recent safety concerns have emerged, with two active complaints as of December 2023 - one regarding an expired boiler permit and another related to common area conditions. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, including multiple violations related to the alarm system (most recently in July 2024), and one serious incident in July 2016 when it was found to have no smoke detectors present during a fire response, though this was subsequently addressed. Past violations from 2000 and 2018 involved various maintenance issues such as water damage, mold, and lead paint concerns, all of which were eventually abated.

The building underwent a 200-amp electrical upgrade in 2005 and has had several routine inspections over the years, including a fire inspection revealing multiple violations in October 2019 related to emergency systems and building maintenance, though these were all subsequently corrected. Recent concerns have also been raised about structural issues, with a 2018 complaint documenting a bulging wall on the second floor and issues with window security and common area maintenance, though these complaints were eventually resolved. The property has generated multiple parking-related complaints in 2024, though these are unrelated to the building's condition or safety systems.
