1580 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1580 Golden Gate Avenue, owned by Rappaport-keoshian Fmly 201, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its 1927 construction. Most recently, on July 24, 2024, fire alarm upgrades were filed to comply with current safety codes, including installation of horn strobes in common areas and low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Between 2008-2024, the property has addressed multiple safety concerns, including a 2023 fire alarm system violation, 2017 fire safety issues (though marked as "No Merit"), and various health and safety inspections that resulted in necessary corrections. Previous significant repairs included termite-related work in 2012, roof repairs in 2011 following fire damage, and multiple safety compliance updates in the 1980s and 1990s. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing attention to safety and comfort issues, with notable concerns being addressed over the years, including garage ventilation, security upgrades, and smoke alarm system repairs. A major complaint in 2002 documented numerous apartment-level issues that were subsequently addressed.

Recent maintenance includes a 2023 inspection to improve common areas, and various routine safety inspections have been conducted regularly. The property has experienced periodic fire system inspections, with the most recent requiring sprinkler system maintenance and alarm system upkeep in March 2023, which were later abated. While the building has maintained compliance with many safety requirements, the presence of multiple fire system violations over the years indicates ongoing attention is needed for these critical systems. The property has also undergone various plumbing and electrical updates, including water heater replacements, lighting improvements, and addressable calls for service regarding abandoned vehicles and general maintenance in the vicinity.
