Initial analysis

The 10-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 141-145 Gough Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Edwards D H & M A, was constructed in 1913 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016 at a cost of $180,000, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. The property has received regular maintenance and upgrades, including a complete reroofing in 2018 ($18,800), kitchen and bathroom remodels in units 7 and 8 (2017), and various plumbing and electrical improvements.

Recent building safety improvements include a newly installed fire alarm system (September 2023) and the replacement of fire extinguishers (November 2023). However, there are some ongoing concerns that warrant attention: a current active housing inspection complaint was filed in July 2023 regarding common areas, and there have been recurring fire safety issues, particularly with extinguishers and alarm systems, though most violations have been abated. The building has a history of multiple routine inspections revealing various maintenance needs, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in 2008 related to sanitation, security, and fire safety, all of which were abated by February 2008. While the property has maintained compliance with major safety requirements (including achieving Tier 4 soft-story status), there have been periodic issues with common area maintenance, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding garbage and debris, and sidewalk parking violations in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 141-145 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.
