Initial analysis

Carillon Tower, located at 1100 Gough Street, is an 18-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1964 with 103 units. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, most notably regarding its sprinklers, fire alarm system, and boiler operations. In October 2024, there was a malfunction of the inner stairwell fire alarm system reported, and as of December 2024, there are open violations related to the highrise sprinkler system compliance schedule and sleeping area requirements. The building has undergone various fire safety upgrades, including a major fire alarm system improvement in 2022 costing nearly $500,000, though multiple fire code violations have continued to be issued throughout 2023 and 2024, particularly regarding sprinkler systems, standpipes, and emergency lighting.

The property has faced recurring issues with its windows and water management systems, particularly affecting Unit 19E, with multiple complaints filed regarding water intrusion between 2021-2022. There were also concerns about illegal units and safety violations on the second floor reported in September 2023, suggesting unauthorized residential use and inadequate fire escape access. The building's mechanical systems have seen regular upgrades and maintenance, including several boiler and heating system replacements between 2016-2023, though there have been periodic violations regarding boiler permit renewals. Recent work includes plumbing updates in 2023, such as replacing valves and piping in the boiler room area and updating backflow devices. Various fire incidents have been recorded, though none resulted in civilian injuries, with the most common issues being false alarms, water problems, and elevator rescues. The building's management has generally addressed violations and completed numerous repair projects, though several active complaints regarding lead paint, water damage, and interior surface issues remain pending resolution.

Risk rating

How 1100 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.
