50 Eastman St

Russian Hill, SF 94109 0123055

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

Coverage unclear. AB 1482 turns on the certificate-of-occupancy date and property type — confirm the year the building was completed.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 50 Eastman Street in Russian Hill, owned by Megan Gleeson, has undergone substantial renovations and improvements since 2015, with the most recent work focused on unit 3. Major upgrades between 2018-2019 included comprehensive remodeling of the kitchen and bathrooms, installation of a new metal stair and roof deck, and significant electrical system upgrades. The building received a new roof in 2018 (with some permit revisions), and multiple plumbing improvements were completed, including the addition of a full bathroom and relocation of the furnace in unit 3. The electrical system saw improvements with new panels and wiring throughout, though some permits expired without completion.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved routine maintenance and external issues, with several 311 calls in 2024 related to parking enforcement and a missing sewer vent cover. The building has maintained compliance with housing inspections, with only routine inspections recorded in 2000 and 2008 showing no active violations. Historical street-related issues were documented in 2017, but these were external to the property itself. The extensive renovation work completed between 2015-2019 suggests significant investment in modernizing the building's infrastructure and amenities, with proper permits obtained and completed across multiple trades including plumbing, electrical, and general construction.

Risk rating

How 50 Eastman 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
32ndpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 770 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Property class: tenancy in common

Tenancy-in-common ownership structure, which has distinct maintenance and management patterns.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
