Inner Mission, SF 94103 3532036 11 units · 3 fl · 1924

Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years, but our model still flags a rising risk of maintenance problems in the next 12 months. That forecast comes from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area, not from this building's own record — treat it as a reason to ask questions, not as evidence of a problem. 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 207-215 Valencia 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.

Built 1924
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 207-215 Valencia Street in the Inner Mission is a 3-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by trustee Lew Wah Leung. The building has experienced significant fire safety and maintenance issues over its history, most notably suffering a major fire in 2003 that caused damage throughout all three floors. This incident led to extensive electrical repairs, including a complete rewiring of the building and installation of a new fire alarm system. Recent maintenance records show consistent fire safety violations between 2018-2024, including issues with sprinkler systems, alarm maintenance, and fire extinguisher requirements, though most have been abated promptly. The building completed required seismic retrofitting in 2014, addressing its status as a soft-story structure, and has undergone various other improvements including the installation of an accessible business entrance and a UL 300 fire system for the ground floor restaurant.

The property has maintained regular inspections and addressed most housing code violations, though there were periods of concern in 2011 regarding sanitation and fire safety systems. Recent months have seen multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and debris removal, though these are primarily related to the exterior/public spaces rather than the building itself. The ground floor restaurant, currently operating as "Burma Love," has required various permits and inspections over the years, including for fire safety systems and grease trap maintenance. The building's fire safety system has shown to require ongoing attention, with multiple recent violations related to sprinkler maintenance and alarm systems. A notable complaint was filed in 2014 regarding dust control violations during construction work near a school, though this was promptly addressed. The property underwent significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, including sewer pipe replacement in 2018 and various plumbing updates in 2014, demonstrating ongoing maintenance and upgrading efforts by ownership.

Risk rating

How 207-215 Valencia 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
6thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 2237 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Number of units
