501-519 Fillmore St

Hayes Valley, SF 94117 0827006 5 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 501-519 Fillmore 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 1900

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 501-519 Fillmore Street property is a 3-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Schoepp Family Trust 2003. The building has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, including a voluntary partial seismic upgrade in 2019 with new foundation anchor bolts installed throughout the building, barrier removal for disability access compliance, and ongoing maintenance of safety systems such as fire escape repairs in 2018. Most recently, in May 2024, permits were issued for the installation of new awnings on the building facade.

The property has faced various maintenance and safety issues in its history, with several routine safety inspections conducted by Housing Inspection Services revealing multiple violations in August 2006, including problems with weather proofing, fire proofing, security doors, lighting, stairs, sanitation, and plumbing systems. These violations were all abated by December 2006. The building experienced a concerning incident in 2012 involving complaints of exposed wiring, mold, and structural concerns, though these issues were resolved within a month. More recent inspection records show routine inspections in 2018 and 2011, with no major violations noted. The property has also undergone various repairs and improvements to address code compliance and resident safety, including the installation of self-closing doors and improvements to lighting systems. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 501-519 Fillmore 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
48thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 534 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.

Building age

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