Initial analysis

2660 Gough Street is a four-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood, owned by William D & Claire A Spence and constructed in 1955. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety events over its history, most notably a fire incident in 1988 that required repairs to unit 204. Recent maintenance includes the completion of electrical panel replacement in August 2022, which followed a complaint in December 2014 regarding unauthorized electrical work in the ground-floor salon that was promptly addressed by city inspectors. The building has undergone various permitted improvements, including multiple roofing projects and plumbing work such as kitchen sink replacement in 2007.

The building has experienced recurring issues with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by ten consecutive reports of garbage and debris (primarily relating to overflowing city garbage cans) in January and December 2024, though these appear to be mostly street-level issues rather than direct building concerns. In terms of safety-related incidents, there have been three documented fire department responses between 2020-2022 for non-injury situations, including a blocked exit complaint that was determined to have "no merit." The property has a mixed-use designation, with commercial space occupied by "Ringolevio Salon and Spa" in unit 204, and has undergone various inspection processes, including a routine housing inspection in 1999 and a 1998 complaint regarding fire extinguisher maintenance and hallway debris that was resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 2660 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, 637 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 20.7%
Severe concern 41.3%
