Initial analysis

The Garibaldi Trust-owned property at 3156 Gough Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, containing four units in San Francisco's Marina neighborhood. The building's maintenance record shows several significant improvements, including a complete reroofing project in 1997 and the installation of aluminum windows in 1986, both of which were successfully completed. A notable cluster of building violations was documented in December 2001 during a routine housing inspection, primarily related to fire safety and security issues, including problems with fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, exterior door self-closing mechanisms, combustible storage, and gas meter instructions. All of these violations were resolved by March 2002.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external issues, with the most recent concern being a pavement defect reported in December 2024 that remains in progress. The building's immediate surroundings have experienced recurring parking issues, with multiple reports of blocked driveways between 2019 and 2024, all of which were addressed by parking enforcement. Other recent incidents include a side sewer vent odor investigation in 2022 and a street cleaning call in late 2023. The building's permit history, while limited, indicates regular maintenance attention, with a street space permit being issued in 2006. The property's inspection and violation history suggests that past safety concerns were addressed promptly, with no active violations or complaints on record since 2002.

Risk rating

How 3156 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.
