Lone Mountain, SF 94118 1169015 3 units · 3 fl · 1909

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 336-340 Willard 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.

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 336-340 Willard Street, located in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1909, currently owned by the Bypass Trust Of The Hamiltons. The property has undergone several significant renovations and safety improvements over the years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2001-2002 when a basement garage conversion, bathroom additions on all floors, and the installation of a wood fire escape stair were completed at a cost of $90,000. The building received modern updates including kitchen remodeling, window replacements, and the installation of automatic fire sprinklers in the basement with 21 heads. More recent improvements include multiple parking-related issues addressed through enforcement actions between 2023-2024, with numerous reports of blocked driveways being consistently addressed by parking enforcement personnel. The property underwent electrical upgrades in 2003, though that particular permit was cancelled, and has had various street space permits issued over the years.

The building's safety features have been progressively enhanced, with notable improvements including kitchen remodels, bathroom additions, and rear yard variance approvals for stairs to serve as a second means of egress. While there have been periodic routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2004, no active violations were recorded. The property has experienced recurring issues with blocked driveways, as evidenced by multiple enforcement actions throughout 2023-2024, though these are primarily parking enforcement matters rather than building safety concerns. Recent maintenance issues such as defaced parking signs (reported August 2024) and loose garbage (April 2024) were promptly addressed by city services, indicating responsive management of exterior maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 336-340 Willard 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
17thpercentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 431 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

Building size

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

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