Initial analysis

The building at 2195-2197 Golden Gate Avenue is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential apartment building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Riegler Casey. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent work being exterior siding repairs in common areas completed in 2024. In 2018-2019, substantial renovations were performed on Unit B, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and installation of a new 60-amp panel. The building has received attention to its exterior components, including window replacement (2014) and stucco repairs (2018).

A notable series of building violations was documented in December 2016, consisting of fire safety issues such as improper hot water heater flue pipe slope, dryer moisture exhaust ducts, and fire extinguisher maintenance, along with building safety concerns including egress obstruction, wood stairs condition, and carbon monoxide alarm requirements. These violations were all abated by January 2017. The building has experienced several routine fire safety incidents, including two carbon monoxide incidents and a cooking fire, though thankfully with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls (January 2025) indicate recurring issues with overflowing city garbage cans near the property, and there have been multiple encampment-related calls in the vicinity during the same period. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with various permits indicating systematic addressing of both interior and exterior building needs, including plumbing work such as gas furnace installation and sewer repairs.

Risk rating

How 2195-2197 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
39th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 486 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.3%
Moderate concern 27.0%
Severe concern 10.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
