1225 Vicente St

Parkside, SF 94116 2473045 4 units · 2 fl · 1959

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 1225 Vicente 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 1959
2 or more units
4 units
Property type
Multi-Family Residential
Zoning
NC1
Likely rent-controlled. Building age and unit count suggest this property falls under San Francisco's Rent Ordinance.

Based on SF Assessor records. Not legal advice — confirm with the SF Rent Board.

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 1959
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 4-unit apartment building at 1225 Vicente Street, built in 1959 in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-focused improvements over the past 25 years. Most notably, there were multiple fire safety violations in 2001 and 2003 that required attention, including issues with fire extinguishers, smoke detection systems, fire escape maintenance, and interior surfaces. These violations were all abated by February 2001. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including window replacements in 1996 and 2006, when several windows were replaced or installed in units 1, 2, and 3. A furnace replacement was recorded in 2016, though this permit has since expired. More recently, there have been some concerning plumbing issues, with two sewage backup incidents reported from a side sewer vent in late 2024, and a carbon monoxide incident recorded as well. The building's exterior maintenance includes a reroofing project completed in 1988.

Recent activity around the property includes multiple graffiti incidents in late 2024 and some transportation-related concerns, though these are more related to the immediate area rather than the building itself. The most pressing recent issues appear to be the sewage backup incidents from late 2024, which required attention from the PUC Sewer Operations team. While the building has a history of fire safety violations that were resolved, and various maintenance upgrades have been performed over the years, there are no active violations currently on record. The property has undergone regular routine housing inspections, with the most recent documented in 2008, and has generally shown compliance with safety requirements following the resolution of past violations.

Risk rating

How 1225 Vicente 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
54thpercentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 117 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

What's driving this score

Number of units

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

Neighborhood location
