Initial analysis

The property at 2826-2830 Gough Street is a two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, containing 4 units and built in 1909. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most recent work (completed in late 2023) involving comprehensive unit renovations including ceiling replacement, insulation upgrades, sheetrock installation, painting, kitchen remodeling, and associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $40,000. In 2023, exploratory work was conducted to assess the garage level's ceiling framing, foundation, and slab specifications. The property has seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including the installation of new tankless water heaters (2023), a 100-amp sub-panel (2023), and previous major renovations in 2016-2017 involving foundation work, new ADU creation, and extensive interior remodeling.

Historically, the building faced several code compliance issues in 2011, including concerns about an illegal bathroom, improper dishwasher installation, and plumbing code violations, but these were all addressed and abated by September 2011. The property has an active parking enforcement history, with multiple citations (seven between June and November 2024) for driveway blocking, and there were some garbage and debris complaints in mid-2024. A tenant buyout was processed in September 2023 for $10,000. Recent planning records indicate ongoing efforts to convert the existing garage into a new ADU, with work status currently marked as "On Hold." The building's most recent substantial improvements suggest ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property's systems and living spaces.

Risk rating

How 2826-2830 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 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 86 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

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 55.6%
Moderate concern 14.3%
Severe concern 30.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
