1680 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1680 Golden Gate Avenue, owned by Huddleston Living Trust and constructed in 1925, has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in October 2023, the building completed a $26,000 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, following a previous fire alarm modification in November 2023 that included upgrading the fire panel and installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas.

The building successfully completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 as a Tier 3 property, demonstrating structural improvement compliance. The property has experienced recurring safety inspection issues, with a significant cluster of violations in March 2023 related to fire safety equipment and emergency systems, including the fire escape drop ladder, fire extinguisher maintenance, and gas utility shutoff requirements - all of which were abated by May 2023. Historical records show attention to various maintenance issues, including a 2009 garage ceiling repair and a 2001 incident involving fire damage repair.

The building's plumbing and electrical systems have received upgrades over the years, including water heater installation and electrical improvements. While recent 311 calls for the vicinity have primarily concerned street issues like illegal parking and sidewalk cleaning, they are not directly related to building conditions. The property's fire alarm system has shown occasional false alarms and system malfunctions, all of which were promptly investigated with no injuries reported.
