1640 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 7-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1640 Golden Gate Ave, owned by Roma Curran Peletz Lvg Tr, has undergone several significant safety improvements and renovations since its construction in 1911. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $58,000, achieving Tier 3 compliance with a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

Recent maintenance includes a filed permit in September 2024 for kitchen and bathroom updates across multiple units, although the estimated cost was listed as $0. The building has a history of addressing safety concerns, with a routine safety inspection in 2017 resulting in multiple violations related to stairs, carbon monoxide alarms, and a 2009 inspection leading to corrections of lead paint hazards, weatherproofing, and security concerns. The property has maintained basic infrastructure updates, including a 2015 water heater replacement for unit #6 and historical improvements such as fire sprinkler installation (1989), plywood and sill bolt improvements (1997), and a roof replacement (1996).

Recent 311 calls between October 2024 and January 2025 show recurring issues with parking enforcement and occasional reports of sidewalk cleanliness concerns, though these are typical for urban environments. Notably, there have been two fire-related incidents recorded: a gas leak and a smoke detector activation, with no civilian injuries reported in either case. A recent planning record from 2024 mentions concerns about political signs on the building's exterior, measuring approximately 12 feet by 3 feet.
