2305 Washington St

Pacific Heights, SF 94115 0613001 5 units · 2 fl · 1948

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 2305 Washington 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 1948
2 or more units
5 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning

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 1948
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

2305 Washington Street is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, built in 1948 and currently owned by the Kalra/Berry Family Trust. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major renovations including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2017-2019 (total cost $118,500), comprehensive interior remodeling in 2017 (valued at $200,000), and the installation of a solar hot water system in 2010. Recent maintenance includes a reroofing project completed in 2019 costing $28,500, and various plumbing improvements such as water heater replacement in 2022 and bathroom renovations in 2017.

The building's history shows attention to safety and modernization, with electrical upgrades including rewiring of the top floor apartment in 2017 and the installation of solar panels in 2010. A historical routine inspection in 2003 identified several maintenance issues, including broken windows and handrails, which were resolved by 2005. The property has experienced some recent infrastructure challenges, as evidenced by two sewer-related 311 calls in June 2024 - one regarding a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent, and the other involving waste cleanup. Recent 311 activity primarily reflects external neighborhood issues such as street cleaning and parking enforcement matters rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 2305 Washington 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
46thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 520 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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.
