AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2046 Golden Gate Avenue, located in the Park North neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904 and currently owned by Jorge Jaramillo-botero. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a sewage discharge issue from a side vent in October 2024 and an open sidewalk defect related to collapse reported in April 2024. In 2017, a gas water heater was replaced, and in 2013, windows were upgraded to period-appropriate wood hung windows with "Queen Anne" top sashes on both the front facade and rear. The building's history includes substantial renovation work in the 1980s, including horizontal extensions, deck additions, and kitchen renovations. Of particular note is an ongoing housing inspection case from February 2019 regarding an allegedly unpermitted dwelling unit with kitchen and bathroom facilities in a detached rear structure, which has been reported as potentially being used for short-term rentals.

The property has experienced various maintenance and enforcement-related issues in recent years, primarily related to parking violations and sign defacement, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking from 2021 through 2024, though most were either unable to be validated or resulted in citations. The building has a history of unauthorized modifications, including an unpermitted storage shed in 1993, though this permit was ultimately cancelled. The structure appears to be generally well-maintained in terms of major systems, with regular updates to essential services like water heating, though the recent sewage issue and sidewalk defect may indicate some infrastructure challenges. The presence of multiple parking-related complaints and the ongoing investigation regarding the rear dwelling unit suggest some ongoing regulatory and compliance monitoring in the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 2046 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
76th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 191 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.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 84.0%
Moderate concern 11.7%
Severe concern 4.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
