Initial analysis

The Mcgough Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 909-911 Lincoln Way in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1914, this flats and duplex structure has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most recent being a reroofing project in July 2022 costing $18,000. This roofing work generated serious safety concerns when wet concrete was allegedly thrown from the roof, injuring pedestrians including adults and infants, though this complaint was abated within one day of being filed. The building has a documented history of roof maintenance, with previous reroofing projects completed in 1998 and 1989. Other notable improvements include the installation of aluminum windows in 1987, and an underground service conversion with two meters completed in 2004.

The property has experienced some community-related issues in its vicinity, particularly in 2023 when there were multiple reports of loose garbage that required Recology's attention. There were also various municipal service calls including a medical waste incident in 2021 and several general cleaning requests. The parking situation near the building has generated at least one immediate enforcement action, with a citation issued in June 2024 for driveway blocking. While there were two fire alarm incidents recorded - one being a malicious false alarm and the other due to malfunction - neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of critical systems, particularly the roofing, which has been addressed approximately every 10-15 years, though residents should note the concerning safety incident during the most recent roofing work.

Risk rating

How 909-911 Lincoln Way'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.
