Rent & eviction protection

Is 1625 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 1900
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

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 1900
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

1625 Vallejo Street is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Joshua Seims Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various compliance challenges over its history. Most recently, in 2024, substantial improvements were made including a $125,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel on the second and third floors, along with a $33,200 reroofing project, both of which are currently in progress or have been completed. The building has experienced multiple dwelling unit configuration attempts, with a controversial 2001-2003 period attempting to convert the four units into three units, and a subsequent 2013 permit application to legalize a conversion which was ultimately cancelled. Notable historical events include a fire incident in 2003 that required exterior repairs, and significant foundation work in 2001 including termite repairs.

The property has seen various maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including multiple bathroom remodels (2001, 2008), electrical upgrades, and plumbing work. There were several inspections and complaints during the 2001-2010 period, including concerns about unauthorized unit conversions, construction without permits, and security issues which have since been resolved. More recent maintenance issues have been relatively minor, with the most recent 311 calls in 2024 and 2023 concerning tree maintenance and sidewalk cleaning. The building's systems have generally been well-maintained, with documented repairs to both sewer issues (2008) and catch basin maintenance (2018). The property management has addressed various building violations as they arose, with the most recent building violation from 2007 regarding security requirements being resolved within a week.

Risk rating

How 1625 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
68thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 308 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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