17-23 Hoff St

Inner Mission, SF 94110 3569021 6 units · 3 fl · 1910

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 17-23 Hoff 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 1910
2 or more units

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 1910
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 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 17-23 Hoff St in the Inner Mission, owned by Hdi Jasper LLC, has undergone significant modernization and safety improvements since its construction in 1910. Most notably, in 2021-2022, the property underwent substantial renovations including the conversion of an existing garage/storage area into four additional dwelling units (ADUs), installation of a comprehensive fire safety system including sprinklers and alarms, and major infrastructure upgrades such as a new 400-amp electrical service with 10 meters, complete rewiring, and a new roof. Unit #17 received kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2022. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2014, and all recent building permits, including fire safety improvements and ADU conversions, have been completed or properly filed.

Historical records indicate the building had some safety concerns in 2003 regarding fire proofing, stairs, and handrails, which were resolved by December 2003. There were several fire-related incidents recorded between 2016-2022, though none resulted in injuries or serious damage. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti and sidewalk cleaning, while four shared spaces fire complaints from October 2023 were either corrected or marked as duplicates. The building's fire safety systems were significantly upgraded in 2021-2022, including the installation of fire sprinklers, alarms, and other safety features, suggesting improved resident safety compared to earlier years. However, it should be noted that there are currently several open 311 calls from January 2025 regarding building maintenance and public space cleanliness.

Risk rating

How 17-23 Hoff 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
48thpercentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1238 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

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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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