Hayes Valley, SF 94117 0845002 6 units · 2 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 345-347 Pierce 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

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 two-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 345-347 Pierce Street in Hayes Valley, owned by 343 Pierce Street LLC, dates back to 1900 and has experienced several significant events throughout its history. The most concerning period came in 2007-2008 when multiple housing code violations were documented, including issues with lead paint hazards, building safety concerns, and fire safety compliance. These violations, documented in complaint #200855456 and routine inspection #200861073, were all abated by June 2008, with the owner completing necessary repairs, including handrail installation at rear stairs (July 2008), fire damage repairs (August 2007), and addressing various interior surface problems. A previous unsafe building complaint from 2007 was marked as resolved in 2010.

The building underwent reroofing in 1993, though this permit has since expired. More recently, there has been a notable pattern of street and sidewalk maintenance issues near the property, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 reporting garbage, debris, and abandoned items on the street and sidewalk, particularly from June to October 2024. There were also two reports of sidewalk parking issues in May and June 2024, though enforcement officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. The most recent building-related incident was a routine inspection in 2002, which was resolved promptly. While the property has shown improvement since 2008 with no active violations, the recent street cleaning issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges around the building's vicinity.

Risk rating

How 345-347 Pierce 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
40thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 616 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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