Rent & eviction protection

Is 1369-1373 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 1903
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 1903
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 three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1369-1373 Waller Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Wong Curtis D Revocable Liv, has undergone several significant upgrades and improvements since its construction in 1903. Most notably, the building completed mandatory seismic retrofit work in 2014 as a Tier 3 soft-story property, reinforcing the front building with ground floor reinforcements and special moment frames at a cost of $45,000. Recent safety improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2023, bringing the building into compliance with San Francisco Fire Code requirements by installing new devices and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The past few years have seen substantial interior improvements, particularly in 2021, with multiple unit renovations including bathroom and kitchen updates across units 1371A, 1371B, and 1374A, totaling approximately $34,000 in permit costs. The building has maintained compliance with safety regulations, with all identified violations from 2006 related to fire safety and gas shutoff requirements being promptly addressed and abated by August 2006.

The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including electrical system upgrades, with recent work adding new sub-panels in multiple units and upgrading the main electric service. Historical records show roofing work was completed in 1997, and the building has been subject to regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent inspection in 2023 currently marked as active. While there have been occasional issues reported through 311 calls regarding street and sidewalk maintenance around the building, these appear to be typical urban maintenance matters and have been generally resolved in a timely manner. The building's documented history demonstrates ongoing maintenance and upgrades to meet modern safety standards, with no significant unresolved safety or habitability issues currently on record.

Risk rating

How 1369-1373 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
53rdpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 273 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
