Initial analysis

The property at 1619 Gough Street is a 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, with major permitted work scheduled for 2024 including extensive siding replacement, window replacements, and insulation upgrades valued at over $152,000. Notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2015, which included the installation of shear walls and moment frames. Throughout its history, the building has experienced recurring mold issues, with documented cases in 2019, 2003, and 2002, though these complaints have all been marked as not active. A significant infrastructure upgrade occurred in 2016 with the installation of a Ufer ground electrical system.

The building's history shows attention to both structural and aesthetic maintenance, including past kitchen renovations in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Several 311 calls in recent years (2021-2024) have been logged for general cleaning issues, parking violations, and a sewage backup in 2022, all of which have been resolved. The property has undergone routine safety inspections, with the most recent one occurring in 2014. While there were multiple building violations filed in 2000 and 2003 related to fire safety, stair repairs, water damage, and ventilation issues, these were all abated by July 2000. The building's electrical system received a significant upgrade in 2016 with the installation of a Ufer ground system, and it has maintained compliance with seismic safety regulations as evidenced by its Tier 3 soft-story status with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

Risk rating

How 1619 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.
