1914 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1914 Golden Gate Avenue, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant structural and safety-related events over its history. The most recent major work occurred between 2014-2016, involving roof repairs, electrical system upgrades including a new 200-amp underground service and four subpanels, and various maintenance tasks totaling approximately $5,000.

The building had a number of serious safety concerns in 2004-2005, including issues with wooden stairs, fire escape ladders, smoke detectors, and blocked egress routes, though these violations were all abated by April 2005. The property has had multiple permit-related issues, particularly in late 2015 when there were complaints about unpermitted construction, exposed wires, and safety hazards, though these complaints were marked as "not active." Historical records show substantial work in the early 1990s related to earthquake damage, including repairs to stairs, foundation work, and front entry steps. More recently, the building has experienced a recurring issue with unauthorized parking in front of the property, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2022-2024.

There were also two separate instances of illegal short-term rental activity by the property owner, both of which were investigated and resolved through the Planning Department's enforcement process, with one violation resulting in a penalty. The property has maintained an active maintenance record, with regular safety inspections and necessary repairs, though some historical safety concerns and permit violations suggest periodic maintenance challenges. The most recent building inspection in 2016 did not result in any active violations, indicating improved compliance with safety standards.
