Cole Valley/Parnassus Heights, SF 94117 2632022 7 units · 3 fl · 1907

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 1431-1443 Willard 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 1907

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 1907
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, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 1431-1443 Willard Street, constructed in 1907 in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance activities over the past three decades. Most notably, in 2018, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit at a cost of $115,000, achieving compliance with San Francisco's soft-story ordinance (Tier 4) and receiving its Certificate of Final Completion. The building has experienced multiple plumbing and infrastructure issues, including three separate sewage backup incidents in mid-2014, and underwent a significant plumbing upgrade that year involving drain and sprinkler system improvements. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including roof repairs in 1989 and back stair repairs in 1985.

The property has undergone regular housing inspections, with routine inspections recorded in 1999, 2007, 2009, and 2010, though no active violations or concerns were noted from these inspections. Recent activity around the building has primarily involved street-level maintenance, including general cleaning in 2021 and holiday waste removal in 2023. While the building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety improvements, including the recent seismic retrofitting, there have been recurring issues with the building's sewer system, particularly evident in the 2014 incidents. All recent building permits and work orders related to building systems have been properly closed out, indicating appropriate follow-up on maintenance activities.

Risk rating

How 1431-1443 Willard 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
15thpercentile

Out of 526 buildings in this neighborhood, 447 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.

Building size

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

Number of units

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
