1801 Broadway

Pacific Heights, SF 94109 0577001 12 units · 6 fl · 1931

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 1801 Broadway 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.

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

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

1801 Broadway is a 6-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Exnicios Aimee & Jacobs Mil. The property has undergone significant maintenance and upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system modernization in September 2023 costing over $50,000, which included replacement of the fire alarm control panel, initiating devices, smoke detectors, pull station, and notification devices. The building's rooftop has been continuously maintained as an AT&T wireless facility, with regular modifications between 2018 and 2024 involving antenna and equipment replacements, with the most recent work completed in February 2024 adding a boiler room with heat detector as per inspector request.

Historical context shows the building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly during a routine inspection in 2015 which revealed multiple issues including window repairs, wall damage, floor covering problems, and concerns about lead-based paint, though these violations were subsequently abated. The property had earlier violations regarding a steam boiler permit in 2005 and fire extinguisher accessibility in 2007, both of which were resolved. Recent years have shown active management of both building systems and external maintenance, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues. The building appears to be currently maintained to modern safety standards, with no active violations or complaints as of the latest records.

Risk rating

How 1801 Broadway'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
19thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 780 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.

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.
