Rent & eviction protection

Is 1373-1375 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

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.

Initial analysis

The property at 1373-1375 Vallejo Street in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Yu Family Re 2 LLC. The building underwent several significant improvements between 1998 and 2011, including the installation of a garage fire sprinkler system in 2001, composite siding installation in 2011, and various interior modifications including the removal of a non-load-bearing wall in a third-floor living room in 2001. During this renovation period, there were some building complaints, including an allegation of unauthorized work and demolition in March 2001, and prior to that in 1999, reports of serious maintenance issues including hazardous stairs, bathroom fungus, and air infiltration problems. Historical planning records show approved variances for raising the building approximately 5 feet to accommodate a basement-level garage and adding a partial penthouse, though these modifications appear to have been implemented under different ownership.

Recent activity at the property has been minimal, with only routine municipal service calls recorded through 2025, including a parking violation report in late 2023 and some sanitation-related calls. The most recent building permits on record are from 2013 for street space usage, though the low cost ($1.00) of these permits may indicate they were primarily administrative in nature. While the building has a history of maintenance issues from the late 1990s to early 2000s, most of the recent history suggests improved conditions, though the age of the building means ongoing maintenance requirements should be anticipated. The most recent documented building work was completed in 2011, and there have been no reported building complaints or serious violations in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 1373-1375 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
61stpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 442 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.
