1450 7Th Ave

Inner Sunset, SF 94122 1847038 6 units · 2 fl · 1949

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 1450 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.

Built before 1979
Built 1949
2 or more units
6 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential

RH2
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

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 1949
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, 2-story apartment building at 1450 7th Ave in the Inner Sunset, built in 1949 and currently owned by the Rose Koslowski Survivors Trust, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, particularly concerning safety and maintenance. Most notably, from 2022 to 2023, multiple apartments received upgraded egress windows, including Units #3, #5, and #6, demonstrating ongoing compliance with safety regulations. The building has a documented history of roof maintenance, with reroofing work completed in 1995 and again in 2016 costing $11,500, though there were some concerning reports of roof leaks between 1997-1998.

The property has experienced several maintenance challenges over its history, particularly evident in a cluster of violations from December 2004 that included issues with heating systems, interior surfaces, security requirements, and egress obstructions, though these were subsequently abated. Earlier documented problems from 1997 included plumbing issues with bathtub and kitchen sink backups in multiple units, along with concerns about paint conditions and wall cracks. More recent history shows relatively few violations or complaints, with only routine inspections recorded in 2010 and 2017. The building's fire safety record shows several false alarms related to malfunctioning smoke detectors and alarm systems, with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily concerned exterior issues such as sidewalk defects and garbage debris, though these appear to be mostly routine urban maintenance matters rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 1450 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
35thpercentile

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 970 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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