Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1664-1666 Golden Gate Avenue in San Francisco's Western Addition neighborhood, owned by Lane Living Trust, dates back to 1900 and consists of two stories. The property experienced a significant fire incident on June 27, 2019, which caused substantial damage to the top unit, affecting bedrooms, ceilings, and roof sections. Following the incident, the building underwent extensive repairs throughout 2019-2021, including window replacements, interior rebuilds, bathroom additions, and kitchen remodeling, with associated electrical work including the installation of new fixtures and systems. The building received solar panel installation in 2015 with 23 roof-mounted PV modules and a 5kW inverter system. Recent records from late 2024 show multiple parking-related issues in the vicinity, with several illegal parking complaints and some citations issued, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. A building permit for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at the lower level was also noted, suggesting plans for further expansion of the property's living space. As of the latest data, there are no active building violations or major maintenance issues on record, with recent complaints primarily related to parking enforcement matters.

Risk rating

How 1664-1666 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.
