819 Ulloa St

West Portal, SF 94127 2979A033 3 units · 2 fl · 1923

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 819 Ulloa 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 1923

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.

Built 1923
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 property at 819 Ulloa Street is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, located in San Francisco's West Portal neighborhood. Built in 1923 and currently owned by the Linda Hall Revocable Trust, the building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in late 2012, the building experienced fire damage that impacted both residential and commercial spaces, leading to a series of restoration projects in 2013-2014, including comprehensive interior repairs, installation of new bathrooms and kitchen facilities, and deck modifications. The commercial space underwent substantial improvements in 2014 to accommodate a new hair salon, including electrical, plumbing, and HVAC upgrades.

Recent records from January 2025 show recurring issues with garbage and debris, particularly concerning overflowing city garbage cans, with multiple reports filed through 311. There are also two open graffitis complaints from January 2025, though these appear to be on public property rather than the building itself. The building's permit history shows consistent maintenance and improvements, including deck repairs, siding replacement, and commercial space enhancements. The structure appears to be in good standing regarding building codes, with no active violations, though there was one fire-related complaint in October 2012 that was determined to have no merit. The most recent notable building improvements occurred between 2013-2014, addressing both residential and commercial spaces comprehensively.

Risk rating

How 819 Ulloa 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
37thpercentile

Out of 24 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 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.

Property class: apartment building

Apartment building — this property classification influences expected violation rates.

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.
