Rent & eviction protection

Is 1321-1323 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 multi-family residential building at 1321-1323 Waller Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood is a 1903 flats and duplex structure currently owned by the Yamamoto Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major renovations occurring between 2021-2022. These improvements include the installation of two York furnaces in November 2022, deck and French door additions at the rear of the house in 2021 (costing $30,000), and comprehensive electrical updates including rewiring of existing knob and tube wiring, LED lighting installation, smoke alarm updates, and electrical code compliance work in 2017. Additional infrastructure work was completed in 2016, including the installation of underground waste pipes for future bathrooms.

The building has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, with eight parking enforcement calls logged between May and December 2024, though not all resulted in citations being issued. The most recent parking violations occurred in December 2024, with responses to blocked driveway complaints, though officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property has maintained active permit records, with multiple street space permits issued between 2017-2019, and a bathroom and kitchen remodel completed in late 2021 that included new electrical fixtures throughout the unit. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly in terms of HVAC and electrical systems, with most permits marked as completed, though two furnace installation permits from 2017 and 2021 did expire.

Risk rating

How 1321-1323 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
95thpercentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 29 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
