Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2525-2527 Gough Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Berol Marshall G & Vicky C, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent substantial work being the $10,000 rebuilding of the exterior rear stairs in 2021, which was completed in accordance with building code requirements for egress systems. In 2009, the building underwent notable renovations including bathroom updates, kitchen cabinet installation, and a new storage room addition in unit 2527, with associated electrical and plumbing work totaling $50,000. Historical improvements include the installation of an underground electrical service in 2003 and a skylight addition in 1993.

The building has experienced several maintenance and service-related issues, including a complaint in August 2021 about unauthorized use of private property by ride-share drivers during construction work, though this complaint was not subsequently active. A flooding incident was reported and resolved in October 2021, and while there were elevator issues noted in February 2023, these were investigated and found to have no merit. There have been multiple parking-related complaints in the vicinity since 2019, with varying outcomes. The property recently had noise-related concerns in October 2023, and in early 2022, there was an environmental health complaint that was transferred to the appropriate department for attention. The building's ownership structure includes a condo conversion that was approved for two units, and all major renovations and repairs have been carried out with the appropriate permits and inspections.

Risk rating

How 2525-2527 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 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 270 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.1%
Moderate concern 12.4%
Severe concern 6.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
