Initial analysis

2636 Gough Street is a 6-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in Cow Hollow, built in 1955 and currently owned by Livio L & Maureen Socal Rev. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements over the past decades, most recently receiving a $36,600 reroofing project completed in April 2024. Previous major work includes the replacement of six interior doors in 2022 ($8,000), window upgrades in 1987 (24 sash/aluminum frame windows), and a roofing project in 1997. The building experienced multiple fire safety violations in 2003 that were addressed within two months, including issues requiring the installation of security viewers and gas utility shutoff tools, along with other fire-related concerns.

More recent history shows some persistent maintenance challenges, particularly a 2016 complaint regarding water damage and window issues, though this complaint was marked as inactive. The building has recorded five response incidents from the fire department since 2016, primarily involving system malfunctions and smoke detector activations, though no civilian injuries were reported in any incidents. The most significant recent concerns appear to be related to exterior maintenance and surrounding area conditions, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and parking enforcement issues outside the building. While these calls have been resolved, they indicate ongoing challenges with building surroundings and street management. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing major systems upgrades through periodic maintenance, though the presence of historical fire violations and recent maintenance complaints suggests some ongoing resident concerns with building systems and common area maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2636 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
48th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 448 are predicted to be safer.
