1780 Mcallister St

North Panhandle, SF 94115 1157009 8 units · 2 fl · 1926

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 1780 Mcallister 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 1926
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.

Built 1926
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 1780 McAllister Street property is a 2-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1926. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, including mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting completed in 2016 with steel moment frames and plywood shear walls, and has maintained consistent unit upgrades including recent renovations in September 2023 (Unit 7) costing $40,000. The property has demonstrated attention to safety and maintenance, with the most recent work including a new hot water system installation completed in September 2024. Previous major works included reroofing (2015), rear exterior stairs repair (2014), and multiple unit renovations between 2011-2019 involving kitchen and bathroom upgrades, electrical system improvements, and appliance installations.

The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, though there were several concerning tenant complaints in the 1990s-2000s related to plumbing, electrical, and general habitability issues. These violations, including security and fire safety requirements, were all abated by August 2000. More recent tenant buyouts occurred in 2017 ($59,206.21 for 1 tenant) and 2023 ($45,000 for 2 tenants), suggesting active management of tenancy transitions. Two fire-related incidents were noted in 2015 (combustible materials and hoarding), both resolved by May 2016. The most recent building permits and improvements indicate ongoing investment in property maintenance and unit modernization. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property in recent years (2022-2024), these primarily relate to street-level issues rather than building-specific problems, including graffiti, sidewalk cleaning, and illegal postings.

Risk rating

How 1780 Mcallister 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
34thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 526 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
