Rent & eviction protection

Is 1328-1330 Vallejo St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1914

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.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1914
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

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

1328 Vallejo Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, owned by Joe and Pearl Joe Living Trust. Built in 1914, this property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over its history. The most recent major development is an ongoing project, initiated in January 2024, to convert a storage area in the garage/basement into a recreation room with bathroom and bar facilities, with associated plumbing and electrical work currently permitted and underway with an estimated cost of $107,756. This project is expected to enhance the building's common area amenities substantially.

The building has a documented history of various improvements and necessary repairs, including foundation repairs and garage reconstruction in 1993, kitchen renovations in 2000, and the installation of new tankless water heaters in 2022. A notable incident occurred in 1988 when the building experienced fire damage requiring repairs, though this was successfully addressed. In 2022, there was a violation related to unpermitted water heater installations, which was abated in June 2023, showing the building's compliance with proper permitting processes. The property's maintenance history includes regular updates to essential systems, such as HVAC (furnace replacement in 2008) and water service improvements (2011), though there have been some infrastructure challenges noted through 311 calls, including water leaks and minor street maintenance issues. The building's upkeep record demonstrates typical aging building maintenance needs, with the owners actively addressing repairs and improvements over time, as evidenced by the current major renovation project.

Risk rating

How 1328-1330 Vallejo 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.
