Rent & eviction protection

Is 1325-1327 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
2 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 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

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 1325-1327 Vallejo Street in Russian Hill, owned by Noreen Lum, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1909. The building's maintenance history reveals several notable events, particularly from the mid-1990s when repairs were required due to dry rot issues on the rear ground floor wall. Two separate permits were filed in July 1996 for this work, though these permits eventually expired, leading to subsequent actions in 1997 to renew the permits for the dry rot repairs. More recently, in 2016, there was a complaint filed regarding improper lead abatement procedures lacking proper containment, though this case is currently listed as not active. The building had a street space permit issued in October 2013, which carried a minimal cost of $1.00, and a 311 complaint from October 2014 concerning a dumpster blocking a parking space, though this was investigated and resolved with no violation found. The most significant concerns in the building's history appear to be from the 1990s and mid-2010s, though no current active violations or complaints have been reported as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 1325-1327 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
