2872-2874 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94118

This three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 2872-2874 Golden Gate Ave in the Lone Mountain neighborhood was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Joan Meehan. The property has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a fire incident in November 2022 that caused minor to moderate damage, primarily due to a faulty electrical outlet on the ground floor, with effects extending to the upper unit including water damage and charred exterior siding. This incident prompted extensive repairs in 2023, costing approximately $150,000, which included replacing damaged drywall, roof framing, windows, and various electrical, plumbing, and HVAC components.

The building underwent gas line replacements in March 2024 and received new high-efficiency furnaces for both units earlier in 2024. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, particularly in roofing work, with multiple re-roofing projects completed in 1988-1989, 2017, and 2019, though a 2019 solar panel installation was cancelled. There have been other notable incidents including a 2016 water flooding issue, and historical violations such as an illegal unit complaint in 1995 that was promptly resolved.

Recent street-related work in 2014-2015 involved three street space permits. The area around the building has experienced various municipal service calls, including several regarding sidewalk parking violations in 2021, tree maintenance issues, and instances of graffiti in 2018, all of which were addressed by city services. The most recent building improvement is a kitchen remodel completed in November 2023. While the fire incident and subsequent repairs were significant, all related violations have been abated as of January 2024, indicating current compliance with building codes.
