AI summary

The property at 2731-2733 Golden Gate Avenue is a 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by the Lee-grenier Family Trust 2011 and built in 1906. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major renovations in 2021 including window replacements ($28,000) and bathroom remodels ($26,000), both of which were completed successfully. Earlier improvements included a 2018 kitchen and bathroom remodel with electrical upgrades in one unit ($28,000), and in 2019, exterior repairs were made including siding repairs and window replacements ($6,000). A concerning series of plumbing and maintenance issues were recorded in 1999-2000, including multiple complaints about inadequate heat, sewage leaks, and plumbing problems, though these were resolved by 2004.

More recent history shows generally positive maintenance patterns, with the most recent building complaint filed in July 2024 regarding unpermitted work, though this case was quickly resolved by August 2024. The building underwent routine safety inspections in 2016, and several permits have been properly filed and completed for various improvements. A 2011 permit application for staircase and deck work was filed but its status is unclear in the current records. The property has experienced some typical urban issues in recent months, including graffiti (February 2024) and garbage debris (multiple reports in 2024), but these have been resolved through appropriate channels. The most substantial recent work was the 2021 window replacement project, which aimed to improve energy efficiency with new windows meeting modern U-factor standards.

Risk rating

How 2731-2733 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, 140 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.5%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 12.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
