Cow Hollow, SF 94123 0542039 18 units · 3 fl · 1964

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.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1 Charlton Ct 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 1964

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.

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

1 Charlton Court is a 3-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building located in Cow Hollow, constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Kelleher Living Trust 1987. The property has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years, including sounder installations in sleeping areas to comply with fire code requirements in August 2023, replacement of the Stablok house and elevator panels in July 2023, and the installation of a new water heater in 2013. The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with violations related to sleeping area requirements issued in December 2023 and multiple fire complaints between 2017-2022 regarding blocked exits, alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and extinguishers, though most of these were corrected promptly.

The property has undergone regular maintenance interventions, including two roofing projects in 2017 (costing $64,650), and stucco and sheathing replacement work in 2010 (approximately 500 sq.ft.). Recent plumbing work in 2022 involved relocating washer and dryer equipment in the garage for safety reasons. The building has maintained an active response to fire safety inspections, with the most recent fire violation related to sleeping area requirements being promptly addressed. While there have been several sidewalk blocking and garbage-related service requests in 2024, these appear to be more related to street conditions than building-specific issues. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly in addressing fire safety requirements and general infrastructure maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1 Charlton Ct'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
22ndpercentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 672 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

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
