Rent & eviction protection

Is 384-388 Waller 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.

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-unit multi-family residential building at 384-388 Waller Street, owned by Giovanni Agnoli, has undergone significant recent improvements between 2022 and 2023, including comprehensive bathroom and kitchen renovations, window replacements, and electrical upgrades. Most notably, the property underwent substantial unit upgrades with three separate kitchen remodels (costing between $10,000 and $13,000 each), bathroom renovations (up to $25,000), and the installation of 15 new energy-efficient windows with a U-factor not exceeding 0.30 in July 2022. The building's infrastructure received attention with electrical panel replacements in 2022 and a complete reroofing in 2014.

Historical records show past structural work in 1995 addressing dry rot issues and mudsill repairs, while the property experienced a cluster of gas utility-related violations in 2002, all of which were promptly abated within two months. Recent maintenance issues have emerged on the surrounding streets, with multiple reports of abandoned debris and garbage (most notably in late 2024), though these were generally resolved by city services. There are also ongoing concerns regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk, with reports dating from late 2023 and into 2024. Tenancy records indicate at least one significant tenant buyout occurred in March 2022 for $108,000 involving two tenants at 384 Waller Street, though no buyouts are recorded for the other units.

Risk rating

How 384-388 Waller 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
95thpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 51 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

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.
