Initial analysis

3260 Gough Street is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Nellie Josephine Picolotto. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past few years, with particular focus on safety systems and unit upgrades. Most recently, in 2024, the building experienced multiple kitchen-related improvements and electrical upgrades, including the replacement of sheetrock and flooring in several units, kitchen remodels, and installation of new electrical circuits with GFCI/AFCI outlets. A major safety upgrade completed in 2024 was the replacement of the fire alarm system to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, including installation of new smoke detectors, pull stations, and a control panel, following a similar alarm systems issue in July 2024 which was marked as "Condition Corrected." The building underwent significant structural work in 2012, including seismic upgrades with replacement of brick perstals and concrete shear wall additions.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges, with the most recent being water damage-related repairs in 2024. A violation related to sleeping area requirements was issued and subsequently abated in November 2023. The building underwent a routine boiler permit issue in 2018 which was resolved within a month. Historical maintenance records show consistent upkeep of the property, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels in various units between 1998 and 2014, termite repairs in 2018, and plumbing upgrades including a new hot water storage tank installation in 2012. While there have been occasional fire alarm system-related complaints, most have been found to have "No Merit" or were promptly corrected. The building's recent maintenance pattern shows active management attention to both resident comfort and safety compliance, though the property has faced recurring issues with aging infrastructure systems such as the fire alarm, boiler, and elevator systems.

Risk rating

How 3260 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

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 771 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 36.1%
Moderate concern 22.8%
Severe concern 41.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
