2244 Vallejo St

Pacific Heights, SF 94123 0557008 3 units · 3 fl · 1909

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 2244 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
3 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
RH2
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

2244 Vallejo Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1909 in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2008, replacement of the fire alarm control panel in 2006, termite repairs in the garage in 2005, and various plumbing updates including a water heater replacement in 2018 and gas line repairs in 2013. A notable incident occurred in 2016 when water damage from a toilet overflow required extensive drywall repairs throughout multiple units, costing $14,000.

The building's recent history includes multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024 regarding sidewalk sanitation issues, though these are typical urban maintenance matters. Between 2014-2015, there were several complaints regarding unauthorized laundry equipment installation in Unit 1, which allegedly produced fumes affecting other units, though these complaints are now inactive. Historical records indicate past safety concerns with fire escape maintenance in 1995, which was promptly addressed. The property underwent routine inspections in 2000, 2008, and 2014, and is currently undergoing a Historic Resource Review as indicated in recent planning records. All documented building permits show proper attention to maintenance and safety requirements, with only one permit (for kitchen work in Unit 2) recorded as cancelled.

Risk rating

How 2244 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
52ndpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 462 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.
