Initial analysis

The 2-unit multi-family residential building at 8 Gough Street, owned by the Crawford Family Revocable Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906 in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. The property has experienced consistent fire safety system issues over recent years, with multiple fire code violations documented between 2005 and 2020, including problems with alarm systems, blocked exits, and several violation citations related to fire safety equipment at nearby Mission Street addresses in 2022-2024. In 2014, there was an active complaint regarding an illegal unit in the underground story of the building, though the resolution status is not provided. The building's maintenance history shows various structural improvements and repairs, including beam replacement at the garage level in 1999, bathroom subfloor repairs in 1991, and other renovations during that period.

More recent concerns are focused on the surrounding area, with multiple 311 calls in January 2025 regarding garbage and debris, illegal parking, and graffiti issues near the property. While these external factors don't directly impact the building's condition, they may affect the resident experience. The building has undergone several significant repairs and improvements throughout its history, including a kitchen remodel, bathroom renovations, and various fire safety system updates. The documented fire incidents primarily consist of false alarms and system malfunctions, with no reported civilian injuries. The property's permit history shows some expired permits from 1991 and 1999, as well as a 2000 permit renewal that is no longer active, though these are from periods when the building was undergoing various repairs and improvements.

Risk rating

How 8 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
64th percentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 155 are predicted to be safer.
