Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1918 Golden Gate Avenue in Park North, owned by Gwendolyn Faye Williams 201, was constructed in 1900 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The most significant recent maintenance activity was a completed reroofing project in April 2024, costing approximately $21,361. Historical records show prior roofing work from 1996 (now expired) and a completed compliance project in 1995 related to a notice of violation from 1992.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related incidents over recent years, with the most pressing being a sewage backup issue in February 2022 that required intervention from PUC Sewer Operations. Two fire-related incidents have been recorded: a carbon monoxide detector activation with no CO detected, and a smoke or odor removal call, both with no civilian injuries reported. Other notable events include multiple parking-related complaints (sidewalk parking and blocking bicycle lanes) in 2022 and 2021, street cleaning issues in 2021, and a blocked parking space due to construction equipment in 2017. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, most recently evidenced by the substantial reroofing investment in 2024, though the property's age (over 120 years old) necessitates ongoing maintenance attention.

Risk rating

How 1918 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.
