Statewide backstop · AB 1482

Coverage unclear. AB 1482 turns on the certificate-of-occupancy date and property type — confirm the year the building was completed.

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-story, 19-unit building at 909-911 Page Street in Hayes Valley, currently owned by John L. Artal, has a mixed record of maintenance and safety compliance over the past seven years (2016-2023). The property has experienced recurring issues with building management responsiveness, including a recent missed inspection appointment in August 2023, and a documented pattern of environmental concerns such as persistent hot water odor complaints (2026) and chemical exposure from floor finishing products (2024). Notable historical compliance issues include multiple Building Inspection Division complaints in 2020 regarding unauthorized construction work and permit violations. However, the property has made significant improvements to its safety systems, completing the installation of a new fire alarm system in 2021 (with a prior cancelled permit) and a new sprinkler system in 2020, indicating a commitment to enhancing building safety infrastructure.

The building's service request history shows heightened activity in 2026, particularly regarding parking violations, with multiple citations issued between July 7-29, 2026. The property has recorded seven fire incidents over the past seven years, though the specific nature and impact of these events are not detailed in the records. While there has been regular interaction with City services through 311 calls and inspection requests, the building's recent pattern of maintenance and communication issues, particularly regarding environmental concerns and inspection compliance, suggests ongoing challenges with property management responsiveness, though these issues are not currently documented as active complaints. The total construction cost for permitted work over this period was $29,000, though this figure represents only the value of completed permits and may not cover all building improvements.

Risk rating

How 909-911 Page 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

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
6th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 965 are predicted to be safer.
