Russian Hill, SF 94109 0153036 3 units · 2 fl · 1909

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1347-1349 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 1909
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 1909
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

This three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 1347-1349 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill was built in 1909 and is currently owned by United Three Groups Inc. The property has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, with the most recent major work being the installation of a new sewer main and house trap completed in December 2018, along with street space and sidewalk repairs. In 1998, the building underwent substantial renovations including copper piping installation, painting, kitchen and bathroom updates, and remediation of dry rot issues. Early safety improvements were made in 1988 with the installation of smoke detectors and a deadbolt lock on the back door.

The building experienced a cluster of violations in August 2008 related to plumbing, electrical systems, and fire safety, including the requirement to provide fire extinguishers. These violations were promptly addressed and abated by September 2008. Subsequent routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2008 were completed without noted issues. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external matters, particularly regarding parking enforcement, with multiple complaints about blocked driveways recorded between 2019 and 2024, resulting in several citations. There is also an ongoing concern from 2022 regarding tree roots lifting the sidewalk. A recent inquiry to the Rent Board in October 2023 regarding housing fees was resolved with clarification about the ownership records. While the building's physical systems have received regular attention, the most pressing recent issue appears to be the ongoing trouble with driveway access, though this is an external rather than internal building concern.

Risk rating

How 1347-1349 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
44thpercentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 634 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
