Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2336 Golden Gate Avenue in the Lone Mountain neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1939, currently owned by the William Johns Family Living Trust. The building's maintenance record shows some notable improvements over the years, including a complete reroofing project from 1993 (permit expired), and two plumbing upgrades in 2015 consisting of a new shower drain and shower pan installation, both of which were completed successfully.

The property has experienced several maintenance and public safety issues in the surrounding area, as documented through 311 calls. Recent records from 2021 and 2016 show incidents of offensive graffiti on news racks, while 2013-2014 saw multiple parking-related concerns including blocked sidewalks by construction equipment and vehicle-related issues requiring SFMTA intervention. Environmental concerns have also been documented, including a damaged private tree incident in 2016, catch basin maintenance in 2015, and instances of waste requiring cleanup in 2014. A fire system malfunction incident was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. The building's permit and incident history suggests regular, though somewhat minimal, maintenance updates, with most recent work focusing on bathroom improvements in 2015.

Risk rating

How 2336 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
