Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2749 Golden Gate Avenue in Lone Mountain, built in 1963 and owned by Jennie S Kwong Nonmarital B, has undergone several notable safety inspections and incident reports over its history. The most significant cluster of building violations occurred in 2017, when the property was cited for multiple fire safety issues including the need for carbon monoxide alarms, fire extinguisher servicing, and central alarm system maintenance, as well as plumbing concerns regarding hot water heater seismic bracing. These violations were all resolved by July 12, 2017. Prior to this, a 2003 inspection revealed safety concerns related to emergency exits, fire escape equipment, smoke detectors, and combustible materials storage, though these issues were also subsequently addressed. A fire complaint regarding blocked exits was recorded and corrected in March 2011, and there have been two documented fire incidents: a gas leak and a water problem, neither resulting in civilian injuries.

Recent history shows the building has experienced some quality of life issues typical of urban settings, including multiple excessive noise complaints in late 2020, a resolved illegal posting in 2019, and periodic issues with abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with the most recent cases occurring in 2024. The property has also had some maintenance and upkeep matters noted through 311 calls, particularly regarding garbage and debris in 2024. While the building has had several routine safety inspections over the years (2003, 2009, and 2017), all identified violations appear to have been resolved according to available records, with no active violations currently on file. The most recent incident records from 2024 indicate matters related to neighborhood disturbances rather than building-specific issues, suggesting improved property maintenance and code compliance in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2749 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
31th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 358 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.5%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 20.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
