The building has undergone several significant renovations over its history, with the most substantial work occurring in 2005 when major improvements were made, including bathroom remodeling, rear staircase reconstruction, and window/door replacements in the lower apartment, totaling approximately $64,500 in permitted work. More recent improvements include street space and sidewalk repairs along with sewer and house trap replacement completed in 2014.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly in relation to driveway blocking, with multiple citations issued between 2022 and 2024, though there have been some cases where responding officers could not locate the offending vehicles.

Risk rating

How 2009 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
85th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 120 are predicted to be safer.

Complaints across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Owner's portfolio size

12-Month severity forecast
