1845 Gough St, San Francisco, CA 94109

1845 Gough Street is a three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926 and currently owned by Thomas Clements Lacey 2005. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including a 2021 voluntary fire alarm system modification to comply with updated fire code requirements, and a 2017 soft-story retrofit completed to meet seismic safety standards. The property has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues, particularly in late 2016 to early 2017, when multiple building violations were documented, including problems with heating systems, interior surfaces (including mold/mildew on windows), lead paint concerns, and fire safety systems.

These violations were all officially abated by January 11, 2017. The building has also received electrical system upgrades, including a major service upgrade in 2008 and additional improvements in 2012. Recent building improvements include the creation of a laundry room in 2013, which involved electrical and plumbing work, and a 2015 fire alarm system correction.

The building has experienced periodic utility-related issues, with multiple complaints about heating and electrical systems in 2016. Fire department responses to the building have been mostly routine, with no recorded civilian injuries, and including incidents such as CO detector activation, overheating motor, and a contained cooking fire. More recently, there have been numerous 311 calls regarding garbage and debris issues near the property, with multiple reports of overflowing city garbage cans throughout December 2024, though these appear to be ongoing municipal service issues rather than building-specific problems.
