Lower Pacific Heights, SF 94115 0683017 6 units · 3 fl · 1905

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 1968-1998 Post 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 1905
2 or more units

Property type

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 1905
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 6-unit multi-family residential building at 1968-1998 Post Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Tooker Joseph D 3rd Rosenbl, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various safety-related incidents since its construction in 1905. Most recently, in 2017, the building underwent substantial interior upgrades including kitchen and bathroom renovations, new tile installations, and electrical and plumbing improvements. This followed a gas line repair in 2010. The building has a history of addressing safety requirements, though there were some notable violations in 2011 regarding fire safety equipment, including the need for smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, all of which were promptly resolved within approximately one month. Multiple routine housing inspections have been conducted over the years (2011, 2000, and 1999), with issues being addressed promptly.

The property has experienced several false alarm incidents related to its fire alarm system, including unintentional activations and false calls, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage. A 2010 gas system repair indicates attention to infrastructure maintenance, and termite inspections were conducted in 1990. Recent activity around the property (notably in late 2024) has involved multiple reports of garbage and debris, though most of these cases were resolved by city services. The building's street space permits from 2004 and 2016, along with a 1984 building code compliance update, suggest ongoing attention to regulatory requirements. While the property's fire safety history shows a pattern of false alarms and system activations, it's worth noting that there have been no actual fire incidents or civilian injuries recorded in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1968-1998 Post 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
23rdpercentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 516 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
