Hayes Valley, SF 94117 0862016 4 units · 2 fl · 1923

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 668-672 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 before 1979
Built 1923
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 1923
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 four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 668-672 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Barbara P Fedun Trust, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 1923. The property has seen consistent investment in unit upgrades, with the most recent work completed in 2023 involving kitchen and bathroom improvements ($45,000), including new plumbing fixtures and electrical work. Notably, the building experienced a series of foundation issues, with permits dated 2020 and 2021 addressing problems with the west foundation wall, though the earlier 2020 permit for this work was not completed, requiring a subsequent $1 permit in 2021 to resolve this matter. The building faced multiple violations in April 2019, including concerns about smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, lead hazards, and damaged paint, though all these issues were abated by August 2019.

Recent maintenance history shows ongoing attention to infrastructure, with electrical upgrades including a new sub-panel installation and general improvements to various units. The building has experienced some plumbing emergencies, including a 2024 sewage backup incident and a 2019 water damage case, though these issues appear to have been addressed. The property has seen multiple parking enforcement actions recently, with several citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways between late 2023 and early 2024. Historical records show earlier concerns including a fire hazard in 2002 (resolved by 2005) and various renovation projects including kitchen remodels, window replacements, and foundation repairs. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep and addressing of violations, though the pattern of multiple permits for similar work (e.g., foundation repairs, kitchen remodels) indicates some challenges with project completion on initial attempts.

Risk rating

How 668-672 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 596 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.

Owner's portfolio size

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

Building age

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