Initial analysis

The 11-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2845-2847 Golden Gate Avenue, owned by Ecuavest N V, has a mixed history of improvements and ongoing concerns since its 1961 construction. The building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2023, after initially beginning work in 2017 valued at $89,000, which involved significant structural improvements including the widening of foundation moment frames and upgrades to garage/storey strength. However, several concerning issues persist: as of 2024, there remain active fire safety violations regarding improperly maintained fire extinguishers, with recent documentation showing discrepancies in maintenance requirements. The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, including a notable 2022 complaint about water intrusion, plumbing leaks, and mold, along with a history of fire system maintenance violations between 2014 and 2024, particularly regarding extinguishers and alarm systems.

The property has undergone various improvements over the decades, including reroofing in 2003, fence reconstruction in 1997, and garage replacement in 1988, though some of these permits have expired. Multiple fire safety inspections between 2003 and 2024 reveal a pattern of fire safety maintenance issues, including problems with extinguishers, sprinklers, and alarm systems. In addition to these concerns, the building has faced other maintenance challenges, such as mold issues, plumbing problems, and concerns about lead paint in 2018. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 mostly relate to external matters like sidewalk cleaning and parking enforcement, suggesting ongoing property management attention to street-level maintenance. Notably, there have been two carbon monoxide-related incidents recorded at the address, though neither resulted in civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 2845-2847 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.
