412 Presidio Ave

Pacific Heights, SF 94115 1022018 5 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 412 Presidio Ave 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

Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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, five-unit multi-family residential building at 3273-3277 Sacramento Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone various modifications and improvements over the years, with the most recent significant work being the installation of an automatic door opener for disability access in November 2023, costing $4,000. The building has experienced several fire alarm activations between 2021 and 2023, though all were determined to be unintentional, including a CO detector malfunction and wiring equipment issue, with no civilian injuries reported. A series of electrical permits related to the automatic door opener installation were completed in early 2024.

The property has a history of maintenance and improvements, including a major renovation in 2011 involving stairway work, refuse chute installation, and handrail improvements. Earlier work includes restaurant remodeling and storefront repairs in 1988-1989, and various compliance upgrades. The building has recently faced some urban maintenance challenges, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding sidewalk blockages from merchandise displays and illegal postings, though these were generally resolved through enforcement actions. While there were three fire complaints in 2021, only one was related to the Shared Spaces program, and all were resolved, with one being noted as a duplicate complaint. The property has maintained compliance with various regulatory requirements, including restaurant and business permits, with no documented pattern of serious safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 412 Presidio Ave'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
59thpercentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 395 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.

Building size

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