Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1671-1673 Golden Gate Avenue in Alamo Square, owned by Bracht Fmly Revoc Trust and constructed in 1900, has experienced several notable events over its recent history. Most concerning was a significant electrical safety incident reported in September 2020, when multiple complaints described exposed electrical wiring with black marks, potential sparking issues, and safety concerns that might affect neighboring buildings—though these complaints were ultimately marked as "Not Active." The building underwent a routine safety inspection in 2009, 2001, and 1999, with records showing a steel ladder installation at the rear of the building in 2010 for maintenance use, costing $2,000.

In terms of fire-related incidents, there have been three records: two false alarms and one report of a combustible/flammable gas/liquid condition, though none resulted in civilian injuries. More recently, the property has generated multiple 311 calls in 2022-2024 primarily related to street cleaning and parking enforcement issues, including reports of furniture debris, sidewalk parking, and an open encampment situation as of October 2023. A zoning compliance verification request was submitted by NV5 in December 2021, seeking information about the property's zoning district, adjacent properties, variances, and any open code violations, though it's unclear from the provided data whether this request was fully addressed.

Risk rating

How 1671-1673 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.

Neighborhood percentile
