Initial analysis

The 4-unit apartment building at 1574-1576 Golden Gate Avenue, owned by the Eric S Schmitt Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900, with the most recent major renovation occurring in 2019 when unit #2 was remodeled at a cost of $40,000 to update its bathroom and kitchen fixtures. This renovation included the installation of a new flue for wall heater and electrical upgrades, all of which were successfully completed. Prior to this, the building received substantial maintenance, including a roof replacement in 2010 ($15,000), a stair safety improvement in 2015 which addressed climbing hazards and improved rail support, and a comprehensive modernization of unit #2 in 2017 that involved bathroom and kitchen upgrades with new fixtures and high-efficiency lighting.

The building has a history of addressing safety and maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services between 2000 and 2018. While there were several building violations noted in 2007 related to various safety and maintenance issues such as water heaters, plumbing permits, and fire escape maintenance, these were all resolved by 2010. The property has experienced some recent external issues typical for the area, including reports of encampments, graffiti, and parking complaints, with the most recent incidents occurring in late 2023. However, these exterior issues are generally considered separate from the building's internal maintenance and safety record, which shows consistent attention to upkeep and modernization over the years.

Risk rating

How 1574-1576 Golden Gate Ave'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

Grade A–B — Low risk

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

Grade C — Moderate risk

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

Grade D–F — High risk

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

Neighborhood percentile
52th percentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 80 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.4%
Moderate concern 20.0%
Severe concern 11.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
