1801 Gough St, San Francisco, CA 94109

The 1801 Gough Street property is a five-story, 41-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1927. The building has undergone significant renovations in recent years, particularly in 2020-2021, when multiple units underwent substantial improvements including kitchen and bathroom rehabilitations, washer/dryer installations, and various layout changes. These renovations affected Units 202, 302, 306, 402, 501, 502, 601, and 307, with work primarily focusing on kitchen relocations, bathroom updates, and installation of modern amenities.

More recently, in March 2024, a filing was made to upgrade the fire alarm system to meet current codes, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, though there is an open violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building has experienced several safety-related issues over the years, with the most recent fire violations in 2024 concerning records/UL certification and alarm system maintenance. There have been recurring fire alarm system issues documented through complaints and violations between 2006 and 2024, though most have been promptly addressed.

The building's history includes multiple routine safety inspections, three significant complaints in 2008 regarding unauthorized remodeling work, and a 2013 complaint about inadequate heating in Unit 100. Elevator-related incidents have been recorded, including a removal of occupants from a stalled elevator and a defective elevator call, though no injuries were reported in these instances. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 have primarily concerned exterior maintenance issues, with open cases for illegal postings and noise, while most other cases have been resolved. A notable planning record indicates a proposal to add five new accessory dwelling units to the existing structure, though the status remains marked as "Closed."
