Rent & eviction protection

Is 1163-1165 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 1913
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.

Built 1913
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 two-unit residential building at 1163-1165 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, currently owned by Vallejo House Trust, was constructed in 1913 as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The building has undergone several documented improvements over the years, with significant renovations occurring in 1990 when work was completed on remodeling a bedroom and living room with sheetrock installation in the upper unit. This was followed by reroofing work completed in November 1991.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved street-level concerns rather than building-specific issues. The most recent incident was the removal of a Christmas tree in January 2024, which was promptly resolved. Between 2020 and 2021, there were multiple interactions with transportation authorities regarding scooters, bicycle sharing, and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, suggesting a significant presence of shared mobility services in the neighborhood. This includes three closed scooter-related complaints and service requests in 2021, along with additional mobility-related incidents in 2020. A hazardous materials incident involving glass was reported and resolved in February 2021. Two abandoned vehicle cases were logged in March 2020, with one vehicle being towed within 72 hours while the other was cancelled due to the state of emergency declaration. The building's permit history and 311 call records indicate no major building-specific issues or safety concerns in recent years, with all documented permits showing completed status.

Risk rating

How 1163-1165 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
67thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 374 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
