Rent & eviction protection

Is 824-826 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 1909
2 or more units

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 1909
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

The property at 824-826 Vallejo Street in North Beach, owned by Thye Trust, is a multi-family residential building consisting of three units (824, 826, and 826A). The building underwent significant renovations in 2007-2008, including comprehensive interior remodeling of all three units with new kitchens, bathrooms, and room configurations, as well as modifications to the garage space for ADA accessibility. This work was accompanied by fire sprinkler system updates, electrical upgrades including the installation of multiple appliances, and bathroom renovations across all units. More recently, in 2018, the building received a new AC unit and furnace installation. Of particular note, the building experienced a sewage leak incident in 2010, which was promptly addressed and abated within two months. A routine safety inspection was conducted in 2015, and several minor maintenance issues were documented and resolved through the housing inspection process in 2005, including violations related to stair repairs, handrails, garage ventilation, and fire safety equipment.

The property has maintained regular responses to various incidents over the years, including multiple parking enforcement actions for driveway blocking (most recently documented in 2023), and occasional street cleaning requests. While there is a history of building violations, all documented issues appear to have been resolved, with no active citations on record. The most recent major building improvements (AC and furnace installation) suggest ongoing maintenance and systems upgrades, though no significant structural modifications have been documented in recent years compared to the 2007-2008 renovation period. Parking-related issues continue to be the most frequently reported concern in the vicinity of the property, as evidenced by numerous citations between 2016 and 2023, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 824-826 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.

Neighborhood percentile
56thpercentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 159 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
