Rent & eviction protection

Is 384-388 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.

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.

Built 1907
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 384-388 Vallejo Street property is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, containing 6 units and currently owned by Tidepool Investments LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2019 at a cost of $60,000, which addressed seismic safety concerns in compliance with San Francisco's Building Code requirements. Between 2008-2011, substantial renovations were completed on units 384, 386, and 388, including comprehensive electrical upgrades with new wiring installation, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and the replacement of three water heaters. The electrical system received significant improvements with the installation of a new 200-amp main service and multiple subpanels.

The building had several regulatory compliance matters that were properly addressed over time, including a routine housing inspection in 2005 which identified multiple fire safety issues that were resolved by August 2005, such as combustible storage removal and fire extinguisher maintenance. While there were initial challenges with the Soft Story Retrofit Program in 2014 and 2017, these were ultimately resolved with the completion of the retrofit work. A 1999 incident involving unpermitted floor heater installation and carbon monoxide concerns was resolved within two weeks. The property has a clean record regarding serious safety issues, with no recorded civilian injuries from fire incidents, though there was one alarm system malfunction in 2016 that was promptly corrected.

Risk rating

How 384-388 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
49thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 349 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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