Inner Sunset, SF 94122 1771024 4 units · 2 fl · 1947

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 1384-1390 17Th 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.

Built 1947

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 1947
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 two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1384-1390 17th Avenue in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood, owned by Somaz Judah Apts LLC, was constructed in 1947 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years. Recent renovations include a 2010 kitchen update on the second floor of unit 1386, which involved cabinet replacement, new countertops, painting, and associated electrical work including the installation of fixtures, appliances, and receptacles. The building has a documented history of addressing structural and safety concerns, with back stair repairs due to wood deterioration completed in 2002, and electrical service upgrades for all four units conducted in 2003. The property underwent routine safety inspections in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2011, with the 2011 inspection revealing several fire safety issues that were subsequently addressed, including the need for smoke detectors at enclosed stairways, removal of combustible lint from dryer surrounds, and servicing of fire extinguishers.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to critical infrastructure, with past issues including termite and rot repairs to the stucco facade in 1999, back stair repairs in 2002, and various renovations to maintain building code compliance in 1984. While there have been some recent quality of life issues reported through 311 calls, including noise complaints and parking violations, these are typical of urban residential environments and are not indicative of building-specific problems. The property's permit history demonstrates a pattern of regular maintenance and upgrades, with no recent building violations or active complaints on record. The most recent exterior maintenance occurred in 2010, and while there have been no documented improvements in recent years, the building's past maintenance history suggests attention to structural and safety concerns when they arise.

Risk rating

How 1384-1390 17Th 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
18thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 1224 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location
