2085-2087 Golden Gate Ave

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2085-2087 Golden Gate Avenue in Park North, owned by the Philip H Fernandez Family Trust, is a two-unit flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant events, most notably a voluntary seismic strengthening project in 2017 that included the addition of a double-sided 4-foot shear wall and associated grade beam at the lowest level, costing $6,000. In late 2023, two concerning issues were reported simultaneously through DBI Housing Inspection: plumbing problems and mold/mildew concerns, both of which were accepted for investigation. The building has a history of compliance issues, including multiple violations in 2004 related to unauthorized sway braces at the rear stairway, though records indicate these violations are no longer active. A 1994 electrical complaint documented recurring problems with fuses burning out, and there were apparently unauthorized units at the rear of the building, though these issues were marked as "Not Active." The property has also experienced various maintenance issues over the years, including a 2016 fire alarm system concern that was promptly corrected, and a 1994 kitchen and bathroom remodel.
