1350 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 20-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1350 Golden Gate Ave in the Western Addition, owned by Owen & Jane Conley 2014 Tru, has undergone several significant safety improvements since 2016, including mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting (completed in 2019 with a $150,000 project) and a $44,337 fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 to meet current fire code requirements. The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding windows and water damage.

Most recently, in September 2023, there was a complaint about an inoperable front window in unit 3 that had been improperly secured with clamps, potentially creating an emergency egress issue; this violation was abated in March 2024. Previous complaints from 2018-2023 indicate problems with mold, water damage, and plumbing issues, including non-flushing toilets and deteriorating carpets with mold underneath. The building has a documented history of fire safety violations, though these are generally addressed promptly.

Notable incidents include a 2023 violation for sleeping area requirements and multiple fire code violations in 2017-2019, with issues such as blocked exits and alarm system problems being consistently corrected. The property has undergone various maintenance updates, including reroofing projects (2016 and 1997) and window retrofits (2007), though some improvements appear to be reactive rather than preventative. The building's recent history (2023-2024) shows ongoing work to address both safety requirements and maintenance issues, with active monitoring of compliance through various city departments.
