Initial analysis

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.

Risk rating

How 1914 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 486 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.9%
Moderate concern 19.6%
Severe concern 7.5%
