Initial analysis

The three-story, 12-unit apartment building at 130-152 Gough Street in Hayes Valley, owned by James & Victoria Shegoian 2, has undergone several significant changes since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program, which was addressed after a violation notice in October 2019, with work being completed and certified as of January 2022. The building has maintained ongoing improvements, including the addition of new powder rooms with floor sinks and area drains in 2015, street space modifications in 2019-2020, and historical reroofing work completed in 1996. Recent concerns have emerged regarding potential lead paint issues, with a complaint filed in July 2023 about peeling paint and wall cracks, while common area maintenance violations were addressed in July 2023. The building's fire safety systems have received attention, with three inspections between 2019-2024 noting issues with extinguishers, exit maintenance, and alarm systems, though most were either corrected promptly or found to have no merit.

The property has a history of regular inspections and compliance requirements, including routine apartment house inspections in 1999, 2007, and 2010, all of which were resolved. Recent 311 calls near the property have primarily concerned street cleaning and maintenance issues, with several garbage and debris reports being resolved between late 2024 and early 2025. Two fire incidents were recorded, including a contained cooking fire and an unintentional alarm activation, neither resulting in injuries. The building's completion of the soft-story retrofit program (designated as Tier 3 with work completed and CFC issued) represents a significant milestone in improving the structure's seismic safety, though ongoing maintenance and resident safety concerns, such as the recent lead paint issue, suggest areas requiring continued attention.

Risk rating

How 130-152 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

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 945 are predicted to be safer.
