Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2630 Gough Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Socal Family Revocable Lvg, has a documented history dating back to 1983 when window replacements were completed. The building, constructed in 1955, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, including a complete roof replacement in 1997 and window upgrades in 1987. Most recently, in August 2023, work was initiated to replace a side of the garage door frame and paint two garage doors. The building experienced notable water-related issues in 2021-2022, with multiple complaints regarding leaks from the roof, window gaskets, bathroom and kitchen moisture problems, and weather-proofing concerns, all of which were eventually abated by late 2023. These moisture issues resulted in several violations in 2022, including concerns about damaged walls, ceiling repairs, and potential lead-related matters.

The property has maintained its systems with periodic updates, including the installation of a garage door operator in 2006 and various door replacements in 2022, addressing specific tenant complaints about hollow core doors in multiple units. A fire alarm system issue was reported and corrected in April 2022. While the building's record shows regular maintenance and prompt responses to violations, the cluster of complaints and violations in 2022 suggests a period of significant maintenance demands, particularly related to water intrusion and infrastructure concerns. The most recent building improvements and resolved complaints indicate ongoing attention to property maintenance, though prospective tenants should note the building's age and history of moisture-related issues.

Risk rating

How 2630 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
