1353 7Th Ave

Inner Sunset, SF 94122 1762049 30 units · 3 fl · 1974

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

The bar and the rating point different ways because they measure different things: the bar counts DBI violations already on file, the rating forecasts the next 12 months.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1353 7Th Ave 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.

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.

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, 30-unit multi-family residential building at 1353 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset, owned by Park Sunset Community Partners, has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades since its construction in 1974. Most recently, in April 2024, the building completed the installation of a new hydronic heating boiler system, following previous heating system upgrades in 2012 that included the installation of new heating and hot water boilers. The building has maintained an active focus on safety systems, with multiple fire alarm system upgrades including the most recent installation of notification ceiling horns in bedrooms of 12 units in 2022, and a comprehensive addressable fire alarm system installation in 2012 to replace the previous conventional system.

The property has experienced some regulatory challenges, notably in December 2015 when violations were filed regarding unpermitted boiler operations that were resolved by February 2016 through appropriate permits. A recent violation was issued in October 2023 concerning sleeping area requirements, though records indicate this was rescinded. The building underwent substantial renovation work in 2015, including kitchen cabinet replacements in all units, roof replacement, and various facade improvements. Routine maintenance and upgrading of building systems have been documented regularly, including electrical system updates in 2016 involving the replacement of numerous electrical devices and life safety system components. The building's fire incident history shows no civilian injuries and primarily consists of unintentional alarm activations and system malfunctions, with one recorded cooking-related fire that was contained to its source. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as street cleaning and garbage management, which have all been resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 1353 7Th Ave'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
2ndpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1463 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
