Haight Ashbury, SF 94117 1245007 6 units · 3 fl · 1905

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 1418-1422 Waller 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 1905
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 1905
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 6-unit apartment building at 1418-1422 Waller Street, owned by the Shadi Rostami Living Trust, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1905 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations over the past several years, with major improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels across multiple units (completed in 2020-2021), window replacements (12 windows on the front and back of the building), and substantial electrical upgrades (including panel replacements and new electrical installations). Earlier work from 2016-2018 addressed critical infrastructure, including sewer line repairs, electrical panel upgrades, plumbing improvements, and furnace installations. The building did experience some regulatory scrutiny in 2003, with multiple housing code violations related to stair repairs, fire safety issues, and roof deck concerns, though these were all successfully abated by August 14, 2003. Recent inspections and 311 calls (from late 2024) primarily relate to street-level concerns such as graffiti, parking issues, and sidewalk cleaning, rather than building-specific problems. Two carbon monoxide detector activations were reported, though no actual CO presence was detected in either instance. The building's maintenance history suggests active management, with regular updates to both individual units and building systems, though some permits from 2018 show an "Expired" status that may warrant verification of completion.

Risk rating

How 1418-1422 Waller 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
57thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 250 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.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.
