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 457-459 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.

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 1906
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 multi-family residential building at 457-459 Douglass Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906 and currently owned by Morris Fung Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a re-roofing project completed in 2014 at a cost of $12,800. A substantial kitchen renovation was performed in 2006, including cabinet installation, new flooring, window replacements, and electrical work, with a combined cost of approximately $28,000. The building has a documented history of addressing structural and safety improvements, including the installation of new decks and back stairs in 1985, and interior modifications including a new stairway and electrical work in 1990. Multiple permits from 1990-1992 indicate work related to interior modifications and stairway improvements, though some of these permits expired.

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, with numerous incidents reported between 2019 and 2023, resulting in several citations being issued by parking enforcement. Recent complaints about driveway blocking were logged in January 2023, though some of these calls resulted in either officer inability to locate the vehicle or were resolved without enforcement action. The only emergency service call on record was a non-injury incident involving assistance for an invalid, though no specific date was provided in the records. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements over the past several decades, with particular attention paid to roof maintenance, kitchen renovations, and structural modifications to enhance safety and accessibility, though the pattern of driveway blocking incidents suggests ongoing challenges with parking management in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 457-459 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
38thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 792 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
