Rent & eviction protection

Is 365 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 1978
2 or more units

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

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.

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 9-unit multi-family residential building at 365 Vallejo Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Timber Terrace LLC, is a 3-story apartment constructed in 1978. The property has undergone several notable infrastructure improvements, including a complete boiler replacement in 2019 and a reroofing project in 1995, though some historical permits from the 1980s, such as for a dry standpipe installation and a code compliance project, are listed as expired or cancelled. The building has experienced recurring issues with fire safety systems, particularly alarm systems, with complaints filed in 2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023, though most were resolved promptly or determined to have no merit. There was one significant fire violation in 2018 regarding sprinkler service that was subsequently rescinded.

The building's history includes two construction-related complaints: one in 2022 regarding late-night work and another in 2013 concerning unauthorized roof construction. While these complaints were investigated by the Building Inspection Division, their final resolution status is indicated as "Not Active." The property underwent a significant modification in 1988 when a non-conforming apartment unit was removed, and appropriate planning records demonstrate compliance with CEQA requirements for a 3-story apartment house with basement. The building's maintenance and safety systems have generally been addressed promptly, as evidenced by the "Condition Corrected" status on multiple fire system complaints, though residents should note the pattern of fire safety system issues over time.

Risk rating

How 365 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
7thpercentile

Out of 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 636 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
