1670-1672 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1670-1672 Dolores Street in Noe Valley, owned by Richard & Francine Spinali, was constructed in 1964 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few years. Most recently, in October 2024, work began on Unit #3 to address violations, including kitchen and bathroom renovations with new fixtures, though these improvements were initially prompted by a November 2023 complaint regarding safety precautions during window replacement work at the rear of the building. Prior to this, the building underwent substantial window and structural maintenance in 2018, including the replacement of all 8 facade windows and repairs to address dry rot, with total improvements during this period exceeding $110,000.

The building has faced several maintenance challenges over the years, particularly regarding plumbing and safety systems. Notable issues in 2020 included problems with lighting in common areas, a loose handrail, and drainage concerns, while 2019 complaints highlighted problems with the intercom system and drainage infrastructure. A particularly concerning pattern emerged in 2018 involving multiple complaints about mold, water leaks, and structural work safety, which appeared to involve unauthorized removal of sheet rock.

The property has also required various infrastructure repairs, including sewer line maintenance in 2019 and multiple window replacements to improve energy efficiency. Historical records show attention to fire safety, with a combustible materials issue recorded in 2008 that was resolved in 2009. A current active violation from July 2020 remains on record regarding a loose drain cover at the exterior.
