Financial District North, SF 94108 0225016 18 units · 3 fl · 1915

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 830-848 Stockton 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 1915

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 1915
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 3-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building at 830-848 Stockton Street in the Financial District North, owned by Kuo Ming Tang, was constructed in 1915 and has undergone several significant changes and maintenance activities over the years. The most pressing recent concerns involve multiple fire safety issues in 2023-2024, including violations regarding sleeping area requirements, sprinkler system maintenance, non-conforming door hardware, and extinguisher servicing needs, with the majority of these having been abated by late 2024. The building has a documented history of fire safety challenges, with violations in 2018 regarding sprinkler service and alarm maintenance that were referred to hearings, and multiple fire complaints in 2024 related to fire escapes, sprinkler systems, and other fire code violations, though most were corrected or found to have no merit.

The property has seen various improvements and renovations, including a significant reroofing project valued at $40,000 scheduled for 2024, and previous commercial tenant improvements on the ground floor such as the installation of new sinks and electrical systems in 2008 and 2011. There have been recurring issues with the ground floor commercial space, including a vacant storefront violation in 2019 and several building permit compliance matters. The building's maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure, with work performed on fire sprinkler systems in 1995 and various electrical and plumbing upgrades in recent decades. Regular housing inspections and routine violations have been recorded, including concerns about common areas and security that were addressed. In terms of environmental maintenance, there have been numerous recent 311 calls regarding street cleaning and garbage management, particularly in late 2024, indicating ongoing challenges with external building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 830-848 Stockton 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
27thpercentile

Out of 145 buildings in this neighborhood, 106 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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