The property at 277 Golden Gate Ave is a multi-family residential building located in the Tenderloin neighborhood, containing 92 dwelling units and additional commercial space. The building underwent significant renovations between 2012-2014, including the installation of a new plumbing system with complete bathroom, kitchen, and laundry facilities for all units, comprehensive fire safety upgrades, and the installation of split HVAC systems for designated units. Recent concerns include active boiler permit violations as of 2023-2025, with complaints filed regarding the need for permit renewals for both boiler systems (serial numbers A13C20241118 and B13C20246679).

A recent fire code violation was documented in November 2023.

The building's fire safety systems have undergone several activations, though none resulting in civilian injuries or actual fires; these include both intentional and unintentional alarm activations, water scares, and false alarms. The surrounding area has experienced ongoing maintenance and environmental challenges, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025, primarily related to street cleaning and maintenance issues. The building's management has previously addressed various violations and maintenance requirements, though the active boiler permit issues represent the most significant current compliance concern.
