Initial analysis

The 20-unit multi-family residential building at 1666 Gough Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Pine-gough Associates LP, has undergone several significant safety and structural improvements since its construction in 1965. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory Soft Story retrofit in 2021, which included the installation of plywood shear walls and hardy panels to enhance seismic safety. The building has also received multiple fire safety upgrades, including a 2024 fire alarm system modification to comply with current fire codes (costing $43,950) and a 2017 complete replacement of the fire system with new control panels, smoke detectors, and pull stations.

The property has faced various safety and maintenance challenges over the years, including two fire violations in 2023 related to the alarm system and extinguisher maintenance, both of which were subsequently abated. In 2012, there were issues with mold around window frames and water leakage after roof repairs, though these problems were resolved promptly. The building's history includes routine safety inspections and addresses several maintenance issues, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls for garbage and debris cleanup in recent months. While the building has experienced some fire alarm system issues, with violations noted in 2017 and 2019, it's worth noting that all major safety improvements appear to have been addressed, including a hot water boiler upgrade in 2007 and reroofing work in 2010, along with the more recent seismic retrofit and fire system upgrades.

Risk rating

How 1666 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
13th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 583 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 50.0%
Moderate concern 30.9%
Severe concern 19.1%
