1703-1707 Dolores St, San Francisco, CA 94110

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1703-1707 Dolores Street in Glen Park, built in 1915, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2022-2023, the building addressed a critical retaining wall stability issue between 1703 and 1717 Dolores Street, which had been identified as potentially hazardous. This work, completed at a cost of $20,000, brought the property into compliance with building codes.

In 2009, following a routine apartment house inspection, several repairs were completed including addressing deteriorated wood at structural locations, replacing guardrails, and installing new water heaters, all completed by October 2009. The building has also seen regular maintenance attention to safety features, including electrical system inspections in 2004 and guardrail replacements. Historical records from 1990 show repairs to rear stairs and plaster damage, as well as roofing work, though these permits are now expired.

The property has experienced minimal safety incidents, with no reported civilian injuries in recent fire incidents (one being a contained cooking fire, another being a service call). A series of 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to parking issues in the vicinity, including several reports of sidewalk parking and double parking, as well as some general requests for municipal services. Of particular note, the building's recent retaining wall work and other maintenance activities suggest active management of structural and safety concerns, though the clustering of violations and complaints in 2009 related to various issues (stairs, guardrails, door closers, and plumbing) indicates there have been periods requiring concentrated attention to building systems and safety features. The most recent permits and repairs demonstrate ongoing commitment to maintaining building safety and compliance with current codes.
