Initial analysis

The building at 1527 Golden Gate Ave in Alamo Square is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1900, currently owned by Ume-ukeje Victor. The property has a concerning recent history of lead paint violations, with active complaints filed in June 2022 regarding both interior and exterior paint removal procedures, though these issues were documented with proper notification procedures. The building underwent significant repairs and improvements in 2008-2012, including the resolution of several violations through a $3,000 permit which addressed multiple safety concerns such as furnace ducting, stairs, combustible storage, water heater bracing, fire proofing, self-closing doors, and fire extinguishers, along with the replacement of the furnace. Earlier history shows multiple foundation repairs and modifications in 1986-1990, including attempts to establish a three-unit configuration and various unit renovations, though some of these permits expired without final completion.

The property has undergone regular safety inspections throughout its history, with the most recent routine inspection and violations occurring in 2008-2012 period, and a past routine safety inspection in 2011. Three building complaints have been filed in the last decade, with the most recent in 2022 specifically regarding lead paint concerns affecting neighboring properties. Recent activity includes two 311 calls in December 2024 related to environmental health and garbage issues outside the property. The building's permit and violation history indicates ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, though the presence of active lead paint violations as of 2022 suggests continued attention to building safety and habitability issues may be required.

Risk rating

How 1527 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.
