Rent & eviction protection

Is 1133-1135 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 1907

2 or more units

2 units

Property type

Multi-Family Residential

Zoning

RH3

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 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.

Augrented Insights

Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1133-1135 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, constructed in 1907, has undergone several significant changes and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, there was an attempted conversion to a single-family dwelling in 2000, which expired along with subsequent permits, suggesting this conversion was not completed. The property has experienced recurring sewer issues, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported in February 2018 through the PUC Sewer Ops, and a sewer line replacement attempt in 2009. Electrical system upgrades were performed in 2009, including the installation of dedicated plugs and a new 200A-240V-3 meter panel. More recent concerns include an overgrown tree requiring maintenance (open since April 2022) and several parking-related incidents near the driveway, with multiple citations issued between 2018 and 2023 for vehicles blocking access.

The building's infrastructure work has generally followed proper channels, with various street space permits issued between 2002 and 2009 for sidewalk access, and completed plumbing and electrical permits. While the property appears to have maintained compliance with permit requirements, the frequency of sewer-related issues between 2018 and 2009 indicates this infrastructure may have been a persistent challenge. The building's ownership is currently held by 1133-1135 Vallejo Associate, though historical records show significant construction activity occurred under permit #200006072021. The property has also dealt with typical urban maintenance issues such as street cleaning needs and one instance of human/animal waste removal in 2019, though these are not uncommon for the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 1133-1135 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
