Initial analysis

2614 Gough Street is a 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916 in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, currently owned by the Frances K F Ng Family Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2018 (cost: $90,000), and a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2025 (cost: $33,470) to comply with current fire code requirements, which included installing low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and upgrading the fire panel and devices. A completed sewer line repair was performed in 2016, demonstrating attention to essential infrastructure maintenance.

The building has experienced multiple routine inspections and three housing violations between 2007 and 2010, primarily related to boiler operation permits, water heater repairs, and a broken window pane - all of which were subsequently resolved. There are recent 311 call records from 2023-2024 indicating typical urban maintenance issues such as graffiti removal, sign repairs, and street cleaning needs, though none of these significantly impact building safety or habitability. The property has no recorded history of serious fire incidents, with only three minor events related to system malfunctions and smoke detection. An application for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) was filed in 2020 and completed with the addition of new windows and a door at the rear elevation, though no modifications were made to the front facade. The building's most recent tenant buyout record from March 2019 shows three tenants receiving $30,000 each under the City program.

Risk rating

How 2614 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.
