1772-1774 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 1772-1774 Golden Gate Avenue building is a three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1911 and currently owned by Bracht Family Revocable Trust. The property underwent significant seismic retrofitting in 2022 to comply with San Francisco's wood-frame seismic retrofit program at a cost of $68,000, which included soft-story improvements.

More recent infrastructure upgrades include a 2023 electrical upgrade replacing the 400A main fuse box with a breaker box. The building has a history of maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2020 complaint about being non-compliant with the city's soft-story mandate, a 2015 heating system violation requiring heat provision in all habitable rooms, and multiple 2009 violations related to fire safety, lead paint concerns, and building maintenance issues. These historical violations, all of which appear to have been resolved by January 2015, included problems with fire extinguishers, lead paint containment procedures, damaged paint requiring correction, weatherproofing issues, and security-related deficiencies such as missing handrails and door viewers.

The building has also been subject to various routine apartment inspections over the years, with documentation of compliance. In 2017, there was an investigation into illegal short-term rental activity, which was subsequently resolved through city enforcement actions. Recent maintenance work has included roofing and wooden staircase repairs, demonstrating ongoing attention to building upkeep, though the frequency and nature of past violations suggest historical challenges with maintaining habitability standards.
