Cow Hollow, SF 94123 0545010 6 units · 3 fl · 1916

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 2614 Gough St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1916

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
21stpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 680 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)
