Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1852-1854 Golden Gate Ave in Park North, was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by Bruce A. Mitchell. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past few years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2020 when a comprehensive kitchen remodel was completed along with electrical and plumbing updates, including new sub-panels and utility relocations. More recent improvements include the replacement of two non-street-facing windows in 2021 at a cost of over $24,000. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with records indicating earlier repairs including roof work and window replacements dating back to 1997 and 2003, though some of these permits expired.

The property has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk parking, particularly noted during 2021-2023, with multiple enforcement calls for vehicles blocking pedestrian pathways. Additionally, there have been several requests for street cleaning and garbage removal services in the vicinity, particularly in 2022. While these external maintenance issues have been documented, they relate more to the immediate neighborhood rather than the building's internal conditions. The most recent building improvements suggest proactive maintenance of the property's interior spaces and systems, though of note, some older permits from 1997 and 2003 are listed as expired, which may require verification of whether the work was completed as intended.

Risk rating

How 1852-1854 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.
