This building has 6 novs (7y), at or below the Downtown average of 6.9.

This building's 79% risk is high in absolute terms; it still rates lower-risk here because buildings in Downtown generally score worse. The colour is relative to the neighborhood, the percentage is not.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1372 Pine 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
27 units

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 27-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1372 Pine Street, owned by H/s Partners II and built in 1910, has undergone significant renovations and faced various challenges in recent years. Most notably, the building completed a major fire safety upgrade in 2019 including a new sprinkler monitoring system and the addition of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, with a substantial electrical service upgrade to 400A completed in October 2023. The building has a documented history of elevator issues, with multiple incidents of trapped occupants requiring emergency response, and experienced notable management challenges in 2019 when residents reported extended periods of power and hot water loss in Unit 302.

Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 revealed violations related to sleeping area requirements, though these have since been abated. The property has faced various maintenance and safety challenges over the years, including plumbing issues, pest problems, and interior maintenance needs, with multiple 311 calls regarding sewer backup incidents between 2021-2023. Historical records from 2008 documented a significant ceiling collapse in one unit, requiring temporary relocation of the tenant. The building's management has undertaken substantial renovation work in recent years, including the addition of three dwelling units during planning stages, and the completion of numerous unit-specific improvements including bathroom and kitchen renovations in Units 1, 2, and 3 between 2014-2020. A Tier 2 Soft Story retrofit was completed, addressing seismic safety requirements. While the building has experienced periodic issues with common areas and systems, recent improvements suggest attention to both unit-specific and building-wide maintenance needs, particularly regarding fire safety systems and electrical infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1372 Pine 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
58thpercentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 188 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
