Initial analysis

The two-family residential building at 2823-2825 Golden Gate Avenue, located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, was constructed in 1911 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2012 when a $150,000 project was permitted to expand the third floor at the rear, adding a master bathroom, bedroom, living/dining area, and reconfiguring existing spaces, including kitchen relocation. This project also included important safety upgrades such as adding a one-hour firewall to the side stairs and enlarging a second-floor window to meet escape requirements. The property has a history of permit-related activity, with multiple final inspections completed between 2010-2011 for various improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, electrical work, and plumbing updates. A more recent planning application proposed a 36'-2" rear addition at the first and second floors with a new garage door installation, which received DR approval under the RH-2 and 40-X Height and Bulk District regulations.

The building's recent history includes several 311 calls, primarily related to parking violations on the sidewalk and one incident of driveway blocking in 2022-2023, though most of these issues appear to be external to the building itself and quickly resolved by enforcement officers. Other minor incidents documented through 311 calls included requests for street cleaning, graffiti removal, and noise complaints, which are typical for urban residential environments. The property's maintenance record shows regular attention to necessary inspections and compliance with permit requirements, with no recent construction permits or major property issues currently on record as of 2023.

Risk rating

How 2823-2825 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.
