Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1916 Golden Gate Ave in Park North, owned by Annie Ruth Napier Living Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance events since its construction in 1900. Most recently, the property underwent a substantial $29,000 reroofing project completed in December 2020, following an earlier roofing permit from 1998 that had expired. In 2017, the building underwent important infrastructure improvements with the completion of sewer and house trap replacements. A notable incident occurred in February 2018 when a complaint was filed regarding improper paint removal work from the building's exterior, with concerns about lead dust and debris, though this case is currently listed as not active.

The building has experienced recurring issues with exterior maintenance and resident quality of life, evidenced by multiple recent service requests. In late 2024 alone, there were three separate reports of sidewalk parking violations (November-December) and a garbage/debris incident involving furniture (December). Prior years show similar patterns, with at least two reported sidewalk parking violations in 2021 and multiple illegal posting complaints in 2020. A sewage backup issue was reported and resolved in November 2021, indicating occasional plumbing system challenges, although this followed the 2017 sewer infrastructure upgrade. The property has also experienced one noise complaint related to entertainment in February 2024, which was recorded as an informational case. While many of these issues have been resolved through official channels, the frequency of parking enforcement calls and other exterior maintenance concerns suggests ongoing challenges with property management and surrounding conditions.

Risk rating

How 1916 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, 16 are predicted to be safer.
