454-458 South Van Ness Ave, San Francisco, CA 94103

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 454-458 South Van Ness Ave, owned by Golden Properties LLC, was constructed in 1900 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex building. The property has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past two decades, with the most recent substantial work occurring in 2015, including a bathroom remodel, plumbing updates, and electrical work costing approximately $22,000, which addressed a compliance issue from a previous complaint. Earlier improvements from 1999-2000 involved comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in all three units, including new cabinets, tiles, and fixtures.

The building has a history of addressing structural issues, with documented dry rot repairs to the rear stairway in 2003 and kitchen modifications in 1999, though some permits from that period are marked as expired. The building experienced several safety-related incidents in 2009, including electrical hazards such as hanging light sockets and gas utility issues, all of which were resolved by May 2009. A recent complaint from 2020 regarding construction drills was filed, and there have been multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily related to street cleaning and general maintenance issues around the property.

The building's fire safety record shows two alarm-related incidents with no civilian injuries reported. Recent activity has focused on environmental health matters, with a public health complaint documented in November 2024. While the property has historically required various maintenance and safety upgrades, many of the most serious past violations have been addressed through subsequent renovations and repairs.
