1225 Oak St

Haight Ashbury, SF 94117 1219034 4 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 1225 Oak 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

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 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

This two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1225 Oak Street in Haight Ashbury and owned by the Richard E Mar Living Trust, was constructed in 1926. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including sewer and house trap replacements completed in April 2022, and a sewerline project completed in July 2011. A notable cluster of building violations was recorded in April 2009, primarily related to security and fire safety issues, including problems with exterior door self-closing devices, locking mechanisms, fire extinguisher maintenance, combustible storage, and gas meter instructional postings; however, all these violations were abated by June 2009. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic upkeep, with kitchen and bath cabinet removals documented in 1987, and various street space permits issued in 2010 and 2011.

Recent activity around the property (2023-2024) has primarily involved external issues rather than direct building concerns, including multiple reports of garbage and debris on adjacent streets, some of which were not able to be located by responding agencies. Two paint shop service requests from February 2024 remain open. The only internal building-related incident in recent years was a blocked exit complaint filed in June 2020, which was determined to have no merit by September 2020. Regular housing inspections have been conducted, with records indicating a 2002 routine inspection that was resolved within weeks. The property appears to have maintained compliance with necessary health and safety standards since addressing the 2009 violations, with no subsequent building code violations reported.

Risk rating

How 1225 Oak 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
42ndpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 337 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.

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.
