Hayes Valley, SF 94102 0853017A 6 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 146-156 Rose 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 three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 146-156 Rose Street in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building is currently addressing multiple active violations from late 2018 through 2019, including issues with heating systems, damaged carpets, sink counters, and safety equipment such as smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. Recent work, as of January 2024, includes comprehensive renovations to Unit 152 and 156, involving bathroom and kitchen restorations with new plumbing and electrical systems, valued at $98,000. The building has demonstrated commitment to safety improvements, successfully completing a soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 3) and upgrading the basement floor in compliance with city requirements. Historical maintenance issues have included a significant plumbing problem in 2015 involving a cracked sewer pipe, which was ultimately resolved by 2024, and various repairs to the rear stairway system to maintain proper egress requirements.

The property has seen consistent maintenance activity, including a $50,000 soft-story upgrade from 2018, and recent electrical improvements including a 400A service upgrade scheduled for late 2024. Building violations from 2018 specifically identified issues with heating systems, safety equipment, and maintenance of various building components, with ongoing efforts to address these problems evidenced by the recent renovation work and permit activity. The building's surrounding area has experienced typical urban challenges, as documented in 311 calls for the vicinity, including issues with litter, graffiti, and encampments in the neighborhood, though these external factors are generally managed through municipal services and do not directly impact building conditions.

Risk rating

How 146-156 Rose 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
54thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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