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 356-358 Douglass 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 1915

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 1915
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-unit residential building at 356-358 Douglass Street, owned by the Patrick V Barber Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1915 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over the past decade, with major work completed between 2011-2014 including a complete re-roofing (2011), replacement of brick retaining wall (2012), installation of new cedar shake siding (2012), and comprehensive electrical service upgrades (2014). The building's interior received substantial improvements in 2014, including kitchen and bathroom renovations in both units, with new fixtures, cabinets, and electrical work totaling approximately $40,000. The property had several plumbing issues addressed over the years, including sewer line repairs in 2010 and multiple bathroom renovations between 2011-2014, though some permits from this period expired and required subsequent follow-up permits in 2014 to close them out.

A significant incident occurred in May 2012 when multiple building code violations were recorded regarding water damage, interior surface problems, and heating system issues, along with concerns about lead-based paint. These violations were all abated by July 2012, according to the records. The building has maintained an active recent history, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 primarily relating to garbage, debris, and sidewalk maintenance issues, though these appear to be routine neighborhood maintenance matters rather than building-specific problems. Recent construction-related concerns were reported through 311 calls in October 2024, which was transferred for inspection. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, though there have been some instances of permit expirations that required follow-up action, particularly in the plumbing and electrical systems.

Risk rating

How 356-358 Douglass 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
30thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 895 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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