2340 Vallejo St

Pacific Heights, SF 94123 0558013 9 units · 2 fl · 1904

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 2340 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 1904
2 or more 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.

Built 1904
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 two-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 2340 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Peter Rice and Megan Haller, has undergone significant improvements and faced various regulatory challenges since its construction in 1904. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (cost: $80,000) and recent seismic upgrades include a reroofing project completed in 2022 ($29,360). The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with the most recent violation issued in October 2024 regarding alarm systems, following a pattern of fire code violations particularly between 2016-2024 including alarm system maintenance, exit path storage, and fire escape issues. The building has undergone various system upgrades including the replacement of gravity furnaces and water heater in 2019, though some permits for these works expired without completion.

Recent developments suggest significant structural and compliance issues, with ongoing concerns about unauthorized dwelling units. Planning records indicate an "On Hold" status for a Conditional Use Authorization request related to an unauthorized unit, while a tenant buyout was recorded in November 2024 for $66,785. The building has maintained a history of regular housing inspections, with a routine safety inspection in 2014 and several other inspections revealing various violations that were subsequently addressed. The property also shows ongoing challenges with parking enforcement, as evidenced by multiple citations for blocked driveways, and has experienced periodic issues with garbage and sidewalk cleaning as reflected in 311 calls.

Risk rating

How 2340 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
25thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 722 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 (ZIP code)

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