2209 Gough St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2209 Gough Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Lee Paul S & Eun Young, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1955. Most recently, electrical system upgrades are underway in 2025 to replace the existing fuse meter box with new breaker systems for all units and the house meter. In 2021, the building received bathroom remodels in all units, and in 2015, completed important seismic safety work with a soft-story retrofit that has achieved Tier 3 status and received its Certificate of Final Completion.

Historical maintenance records show various structural and safety improvements, including a 2008 steel beam replacement in the courtyard area, repairs to exterior front stairs and balcony due to dry rot in 1992, and a full reroofing project in 1989. The building experienced some safety concerns in 2000, with violations noted for water heater room ventilation and combustible storage issues, though these were promptly abated by March 2001. Three routine housing inspections (2000, 2011, and 2013) indicate regular oversight by housing authorities.

More recently, there have been several parking enforcement calls between 2021-2024, particularly in early 2022 when multiple reports of driveway blocking occurred, resulting in several citations. The most recent environmental service calls in 2023-2024 were for street cleaning and illegal postings, all of which were resolved. While the building has had its share of maintenance issues over the years, recent upgrades and the completion of major safety improvements like the soft-story retrofit suggest a focus on maintaining building integrity and resident safety.
