375 Fell St

Hayes Valley, SF 94102 0832067 82 units · 4 fl · 1994

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

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 1994
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
May be covered by AB 1482. The building is old enough for the statewide rent cap (5% + regional CPI, capped at 10% per year) and just-cause protection after 12 months of tenancy.

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 82-unit multi-family residential building at 375 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Gough Street Housing Associates, has experienced a notable pattern of recent urban challenges between December 2024 and January 2025, with multiple reports of encampments and street cleaning issues. During this period, there were eight documented encampment-related calls to the Healthy Streets Operation Center, seven of which were successfully resolved, though some cases required multiple reports before resolution. There were also four reports of garbage and debris, including instances of human waste, urine, and an abandoned mattress, with all but one case being resolved through appropriate city services.

The building's documented history shows a relatively standard pattern of fire-related incidents between 2021 and 2023, primarily consisting of false alarms and system malfunctions, with only one actual cooking fire recorded in a contained setting, and notably no civilian injuries reported in any fire-related incidents. The property underwent zoning verification processes in 2024, involving coordination between multiple agencies, including Batt and Leichner from Bridge Housing Ventures, suggesting active management and regulatory compliance was maintained during this period. The four-story, 1994-era building has generally followed typical urban residential patterns, with recent months highlighting particular challenges related to street-level safety and sanitation that appear concentrated in the winter of 2024-2025.

Risk rating

How 375 Fell 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
4thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 986 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
