1629 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The property at 1629 Golden Gate Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Alamo Square neighborhood, built in 1898 and currently owned by the Caldwell Annie C Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several significant incidents over the past decade, with the most serious being a structure fire in May 2019 that affected the building's rear stairs and siding, resulting in green tags being posted for caution. This fire incident led to hoarding violations and subsequent storage-related fire safety issues, though these violations were abated by July 2019.

More recently, the building underwent reroofing work completed in January 2024, with a permitted cost of $18,000. Historical maintenance and habitability issues include multiple plumbing problems in September 2008 involving discolored water reporting, and serious pest control concerns in February 2003 related to rodent infestations in the kitchen. The property has been active in terms of addressing property maintenance issues, as evidenced by recent 311 calls for various services, including graffiti removal and multiple parking enforcement requests.

Of particular note is a tenant buyout recorded on September 17, 2024, for $50,000 involving two tenants at the adjacent address 1631 Golden Gate Avenue, though there is no record of any buyout at 1629 Golden Gate Avenue itself. The building's recent history shows ongoing attention to certain maintenance issues, with recent complaints including excessive noise (September 2024) and multiple parking enforcement cases throughout 2023-2024. The property has generally responded to inspection findings and complaints, with most historical violations being resolved, though some recent issues like the noise complaint remain open as of now. The roof replacement and other recent maintenance work suggest active property upkeep, though the history of plumbing and pest issues points to periodic maintenance challenges in the past.
