Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2563-2565 Gough Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Vlahos family trust, was constructed in 1911 and is a three-story flats and duplex structure. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past decades, with the most recent major works including a sewer repair completed in January 2023, reroofing in February 2020 (cost: $12,000), and repairs to address shower surround water damage and floor separation in late 2019 (cost: $20,000). The property has experienced recurring issues with water damage and structural maintenance, including the replacement of a water heater in 2008, an exterior rear stair system repair due to dry rot in 2011 (cost: $2,000), and historical problems with termites and subfloor damage documented in 1990 and 1995. In recent years, there has been ongoing activity related to waste management, with multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in late 2024 including overflowing city garbage cans and abandoned items.

The building's commercial space has generated some planning and operational history, particularly with the Blue Fog Market grocery store, which has received various approvals for off-site consumption and general specialty grocery use. There was one notable complaint in 2016 regarding outdoor seating and restroom requirements. While there have been no documented fire incidents directly involving the building, a utility-related incident involving downed power lines occurred nearby. The property has been subject to regular streetspace permits, with the most recent related to parking enforcement issues in early 2025. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to structural and water-related issues, though most recent major systems have been upgraded or replaced.

Risk rating

How 2563-2565 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.
