Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building located at 2340-2344 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 Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history shows several significant repair and improvement projects, including a bathroom dry rot repair in 2015 at unit #2344 costing $3,000, a complete reroofing project in 2009 costing $8,400, and various plumbing updates in 2015 including a new shower pan installation and shower drain work. Earlier modifications include a 1992 construction project involving an ATM installation and related work.

Recent and notable events affecting the property area primarily involve external factors rather than building-specific issues. The property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti, particularly in 2024, affecting both the sidewalk and public infrastructure such as fire hydrants. There have been multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity throughout late 2024, with three incidents on consecutive days in November 2024. Parking enforcement has been actively responding to driveway blocking issues, with at least three citations issued or vehicles towed in 2023-2024. A single false fire alarm incident was recorded with no civilian injuries reported. During the COVID pandemic, there was an acknowledged backlog in graffiti enforcement due to temporary changes in enforcement procedures, leading to a proliferation of tags in the area.

Risk rating

How 2340-2344 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

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 202 are predicted to be safer.
