Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2185 Golden Gate Avenue, constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Liquid 33 LLC, has had several significant maintenance and safety-related events over its history. Most concerning is a 2017 housing inspection complaint regarding a prior mice infestation that left holes in walls and feces in cabinets and a stove, though this case is currently listed as not active. The building has undergone multiple maintenance works, including three reroofing projects (most recently in 2005 at a cost of $7,800) and window installations in 1996. Notably, in 1983, there was both interior non-structural demolition of a north wall and completion of improvements to the living room and kitchen in the existing rear unit, indicating some modification to the building's layout.

The property has experienced recurring issues with external maintenance and public space concerns in its vicinity, particularly in recent years. Between 2019 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of bicycle lane blocking incidents and illegal parking, as well as two instances of offensive graffiti (in 2020 and 2022). A more serious public health incident occurred in September 2020 when medical waste (needles) was reported and subsequently removed. The most recent record is from March 2024, concerning a defaced sign. While many of these external issues are being addressed through city services, they primarily relate to the neighborhood environment rather than the building itself. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance, though the age of the most recent documented work (2005 roofing project) indicates that some systems may be due for evaluation, considering typical lifespan expectations for building components.

Risk rating

How 2185 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
81th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 151 are predicted to be safer.
