Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 3249-3251 Gough Street in the Marina district, owned by Gough LLC, was constructed in 1978 and contains three units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most substantial interior work completed in 2013 when Apartment #3 received a $30,000 renovation including new kitchen cabinets, bathroom updates, and interior door replacements. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including two complete reroofing projects in 1991 and 2010, and a sewer/housetrap replacement in 2016. A routine housing inspection in 2007 resulted in a citation for fire extinguisher maintenance, which was promptly resolved within a month.

The property has experienced some recent activity related to street and sidewalk conditions, with an open sidewalk defect case from July 2024 involving tree root damage, and a resolved shared spaces violation from November 2023 concerning a platform structure. There have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking issues and public space maintenance in 2023-2024, though these are external to the building itself. Fire safety systems have triggered three alarms due to malfunction in recent years, though none resulted in injuries. The building appears to be regularly maintained with prompt attention to both routine upkeep and any violations, as evidenced by the timely resolution of the 2007 fire safety citation and various maintenance permits.

Risk rating

How 3249-3251 Gough St'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
84th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 158 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Construction type (C)

The building's construction type on file, which affects its maintenance risk profile.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Moderate concern 11.8%
Severe concern 12.6%
