Rent & eviction protection

Is 446-448 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 1915
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1915
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 6-unit multi-family residential building at 446-448 Vallejo Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Saidi Family Trust, is a 3-story, 1915 flats building that has undergone significant modifications and faced multiple regulatory challenges in recent years. Between 2018 and 2020, substantial safety improvements were made, including the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system and notification devices throughout the building, particularly in sleeping units, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling over $40,000. The property has been the subject of several building violations and complaints, most notably regarding unauthorized windows installed in 2018 on the east property line, which remain an active violation under review. During 2020, there were multiple complaints about construction activity during shelter-in-place orders, with concerns about work in common areas and social distancing violations.

The building's recent history includes attempts to legalize additional units and improve safety systems, with permits for bathroom remodels, new ADU sprinkler installations, and plumbing upgrades totaling over $40,000. Historical violations from 2014 included mold/mildew issues and window hardware problems, which were eventually resolved. The property has also experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a 2014 Soft Story Retrofit Program violation that was not timely addressed. In 2023-2024, there have been multiple parking-related complaints near the property, though these are not directly related to the building's conditions. Recent planning records indicate ongoing efforts to address various compliance issues, including a focus on confirming unit legality and window installation compliance.

Risk rating

How 446-448 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
29thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 486 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
