Nob Hill, SF 94133 0181026 3 units · 3 fl · 1910

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 1442-1446 Taylor 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 1910
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 1910
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 three-unit residential building at 1442-1446 Taylor Street in Nob Hill, owned by Elizabeth Y Lee Survivor's, has been standing since 1910 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure with three stories. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, most notably a $20,000 reroofing project completed in 2018 and a sewer line repair in 2016, indicating attention to essential infrastructure maintenance. Historical records show window upgrades in 1994-1995, when 15 windows were replaced with double-pane units, following earlier installations of aluminum windows in 1985.

The building experienced a series of safety-related issues in February 2000, when multiple violations were documented and subsequently resolved within a week. These violations included fire safety concerns such as uncharged fire extinguishers and egress obstructions, as well as gas utility-related issues including the need for proper shutoff tools and instructional diagrams. Since then, there have been no recorded building violations or safety-related concerns. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 1999, 2001, 2008, and 2016, all of which were marked as not active. Recent activity at the address has primarily involved parking-related incidents, with citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks in 2023, though these are external street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1442-1446 Taylor 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
57thpercentile

Out of 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 484 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
