1743-1753 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA 94115

The 12-unit residential building at 1743-1753 Golden Gate Avenue, owned by the Rivers Dollard Family Trust, is a three-story apartment building constructed in 1905 that has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. Most notably, the building completed the mandatory Soft Story retrofit program, achieving compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements as a Tier 3 building, and has installed a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor and new units.

The property underwent substantial unit improvements between 2020-2023, including major renovations to units 2 and 9, installation of new ADUs, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and comprehensive electrical rewiring throughout multiple units. A significant building violation was recorded in December 2022 regarding unauthorized demolition work in Unit 2, which has since been resolved, though it did lead to multiple permit modifications to comply with code requirements. The building's history includes various maintenance and compliance issues between 2015-2020, including heating system problems, window repairs, and plumbing concerns, though most have been addressed through subsequent renovations and completed permits.

A recent routine inspection was conducted in October 2023, and there have been no active violations or complaints related to unit conditions in the past year. Multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris have been recorded near the property in recent months (2023-2024), though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific problems. The property's significant renovation work, which has included upgrading electrical systems to 400 amps, improving fire safety systems, and addressing historical building deficiencies through the Soft Story retrofit program, demonstrates compliance with current safety standards and building codes.
