North Panhandle, SF 94117 1204039 6 units · 3 fl · 1908

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 430-440 Broderick 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 1908
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 1908
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 3-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building at 430-440 Broderick Street, owned by Timothy Haines, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance since its construction in 1908. Most notably, in 2023-2024, the building received substantial updates to its systems, including the installation of multiple heat pump water heaters, electrical system upgrades, and furnace replacement, demonstrating commitment to modernizing the building's infrastructure. The property has a history of major improvements, particularly in 2009-2010, when comprehensive renovations were completed including kitchen and bathroom remodels, fire safety system installations (including sprinklers and alarms), and various interior improvements.

The building experienced several notable incidents and violations in its history, including construction without proper permits in 2008, and multiple safety violations in 2006 related to fire safety, security, and building maintenance, though all were abated by 2010. Recent fire safety issues were addressed in December 2019, when violations related to fire extinguishers and alarm systems were cited and subsequently abated. The property has undergone regular safety inspections, including routine inspections in 2006, 2012, and 2017. Current concerns include two open maintenance issues from 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk damage and tree root lifting, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building modifications, completed in early 2024, suggest ongoing attention to maintaining and upgrading building systems despite its age.

Risk rating

How 430-440 Broderick 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
22ndpercentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 622 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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