201-207 Gough St, San Francisco, CA 94102

The Gough Street apartment complex is a 37-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, located in Hayes Valley and currently owned by Ceg Gough LP. The property has undergone significant recent upgrades, with nearly $500,000 invested in unit renovations between 2022-2024, including complete kitchen and bathroom remodels in Units 28, 36, and 42. Major building-wide improvements include a $105,490 reroofing project completed in 2022, and important safety upgrades in 2021 including the installation of low-frequency sounders for fire alarms and an ADA door operator.

The building has experienced recurring elevator issues, with the most recent complaint in March 2024 about missing interior components, and several documented instances of elevator rescues by fire services. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water intrusion and structural concerns, with several complaints between 2012-2013 documenting leaks, mold, and potential structural issues with the lightwell concrete column. Fire safety systems have required ongoing attention, with multiple violations and complaints regarding alarms, sprinklers, and hazardous materials between 2013-2022, though all have been marked as corrected upon subsequent inspections. Recent tenant complaints from September 2023 reported hallway ceiling and wall peeling and electrical concerns, while a 2022 complaint raised accessibility issues regarding a handrail modification.

The building has seen some tenant turnover with recorded buyouts in 2015 and 2019, totaling $45,000 for four tenants. The property has maintained active compliance with building codes through regular inspections and prompt attention to violations. Recent months have shown some issues with building maintenance as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the property. While the building has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent investment in unit upgrades and building systems suggests a commitment to addressing resident concerns, though some recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance and accessibility challenges.
