Initial analysis

The 2810 Gough Street building is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential structure located in Cow Hollow, originally built in 1917 and currently owned by Stephen S. Rosenblueth. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016-2018 (Tier 4) involving shear wall revisions at the east wall of the garage, which is now CFC-certified. The property has experienced recurring issues with unpermitted modifications and safety violations, including multiple citations for illegal units between 1999 and 2021, though all were eventually resolved. Fire safety has been an ongoing concern, with documented violations and complaints regarding alarm systems, fire extinguishers, and sprinkler systems occurring in 2018, 2019, and 2021, all of which were abated.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential upgrades, including a complete reroofing project in 2016 costing $9,800 and the installation of a security fence in 2009 following a notice of violation. While there have been multiple building violations and complaints over the years, including issues with fire escape maintenance and combustible storage, most have been addressed through proper channels. Recent years have seen a focus on addressing capital improvements, with several fire safety violations issued and subsequently corrected by 2021, including an alarm system maintenance violation. The property has also experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2810 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.
