Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2841-2843 Gough Street in Cow Hollow is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1947, currently owned by the Gilbert R Dere Trust B. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, including a complete re-roofing project in 2018 costing $13,000, and the installation of Alloa vinyl siding on the back of the building in 2007, which was completed without any structural modifications. Historical permit records show an earlier re-roofing project from 1996, though this permit is marked as expired.

The property has experienced numerous parking-related incidents in recent months, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between August and October 2024, resulting in several citations being issued to offending vehicles. Two of these complaints were deemed invalid due to incomplete reporting information. A recent issue reported in December 2024 involves a tree maintenance concern, with the tree allegedly damaging the building's window or facade, though this case is still open and pending resolution. Additionally, the property was permitted for a Cottage Food Operation in 2024, allowing for a home-based business with some limited non-resident employment, which was approved under planning code regulations for the RH-3 zone.

Risk rating

How 2841-2843 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.
