North Panhandle, SF 94117 1182010 14 units · 2 fl · 1900

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 1362-1364 Grove 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.

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 14-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1362-1364 Grove Street, owned by Max W Kelley Trust 2015, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2016 at a cost of $83,000, bringing it into compliance with seismic safety requirements. Recent improvements include a fire alarm system upgrade in 2022 ($16,582) to meet current safety standards, and the installation of new double-pane vinyl windows in 2011. The building has also undergone important maintenance work, including reroofing in 2017 ($29,400), sewer/housetrap replacement in 2014, and various fire alarm system corrections in 2010.

The property has experienced several building violations and complaints over the years, though all have been resolved. Issues addressed include repairs to exterior wood stairs in 2010, structural post repairs in 2009, and various fire safety requirements in 2003. A recent pattern of parking enforcement incidents has emerged, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2023-2024, and there was one instance of construction activity before 5:40 AM in 2017 that generated a complaint. The building's fire safety systems appear to be well-maintained, with only three fire complaints noted since 2010, all of which were promptly corrected. The most recent tenant buyout occurred in November 2021 for $4,621.15 involving 2 tenants, at the nearby address of 1372 Grove Street.

Risk rating

How 1362-1364 Grove 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
11thpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 709 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

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