Lower Pacific Heights, SF 94109 0674017 4 units · 3 fl · 1900

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 1843-1849 Bush 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
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 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

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1843-1849 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and containing four units, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance issues over its lifetime. Notable structural work includes a complete reroofing project in 2007 costing $21,700, and a horizontal extension with deck addition at the rear completed in 1986. The building has experienced two fire safety-related violations in recent years: one in early 2021 regarding alarm systems that was ultimately abated, and another in 2008 for which violations were issued but records show no apparent connection to any fire incidents or civilian injuries. A routine housing inspection in 2011 resulted in a fire safety violation for the lack of an appropriate fire extinguisher, though this violation was promptly abated within three weeks.

The property has been the subject of numerous 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street maintenance and parking issues. Most calls involve external matters such as garbage and debris removal, illegal postings, and parking enforcement for blocking driveways. There were two fire alarm-related responses in 2021 - one for a carbon monoxide detector activation that was found to have no CO present, and another for an alarm system malfunction. While the building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues over the years, many have been promptly addressed, including the 2011 fire extinguisher violation and the 2021 fire alarm violation. The property's recent history shows more external maintenance concerns related to street cleaning and parking than internal building issues, with no recorded tenant buyouts or major structural problems in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1843-1849 Bush 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
33rdpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 449 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

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.
